Download or read book A Database of Environmental Samples Collected and Analysed for the Northern River Basins Study written by Robert B. More and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important component of the Northern River Basins Study was the original data resulting from the collection and analysis of environmental samples. Samples were collected, stored, and analysed by a number of different agencies, and an inventory of samples obtained by the Study and results data were compiled into a single electronic database to ensure future ease of access to the original data. This report describes the data contained in the database, the methods used to compile the database, the media and the nature of the samples, the collection site, and the data collected. Information is provided on which analyses were conducted on samples as well as the values of various parameters measured for the samples. All the files and the data fields that comprise the database are described in the users' guide in the report appendix.
Book Synopsis Water Resources Use and Management Issues for the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins by : Golder Associates
Download or read book Water Resources Use and Management Issues for the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins written by Golder Associates and published by The Study. This book was released on 1995 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern River Basins Study Board will be formulating recommendations covering many areas likely of consequence or interest to basin residents. To assist the Board in this task, a series of projects was initiated to survey the residents on their use of northern river basins waters. Existing information was either not available or as extensive as required. This report details the background work undertaken to devise a survey instrument and strategy to capture for households a representative cross-section of information on water use and resident attitudes toward the water resource. The report also assesses the most effective means for approaching and obtaining information from stakeholder groups. The appendix includes the project terms of reference, a description of how the population stratification method could be applied for the survey, and a draft questionnaire.

Download or read book Water Resources Use and Management Issues for the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins written by Michael Williams and published by The Study. This book was released on 1996 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a survey of residents of northern Alberta river basins, respondents were asked to choose the best and worst examples of various sets of threats to water quality/quantity in the basins as well as best and worst examples of possible management actions. This report analyses the responses to the two sets of best/worst questions, using logistic regression. The analysis produced the following estimates: the probability that each of 11 possible threats to water quantity/quality will be selected as the area of most concern; and the probability of each of 11 possible management actions will be selected as the most effective response to such concerns. The probabilities produced by this analysis are ranked to determine the preferences of northern households and various stakeholder groups within the basin.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes discussions and conclusions from a workshop on water quality modelling approaches for the Peace and Athabasca Rivers. Workshop objectives included identification of research needs in terms of water quality models, discussion and assessment of existing water quality models in terms of short- and long-term needs for basin management, review and assessment of model structure, examination of rate coefficients and the limitations of available data bases, and identification of issues and areas requiring further research. Sections of the report cover the hydrology of the Peace-Athabasca rivers, water quality monitoring programs in those rivers, water quality modelling approaches (including stochastic models, the WASP4 program, the Dynamic Stream Simulation and Assessment Model, pattern recognition techniques, and alternative approaches), and water quality modelling recommendations for the Northern River Basins Study. Includes glossary.

Book excerpt: The Northern River Basins Study Board will be formulating recommendations covering many areas likely to be of consequence or interest to basin residents. To assist the Board in this task, a series of projects was initiated to survey the residents on their use of northern river basins waters. This report details the efforts undertaken to develop a list of stakeholders that should be approached for input in a workshop setting. These efforts included designing a stakeholder questionnaire, conducting a telephone survey, and analyzing the data. It also reviews the survey results, including the types and membership of stakeholder groups, use of river basins, water management and water use concerns, and preferred location and time of the proposed workshops. The appendix includes a copy of the questionnaire and a directory of stakeholder groups in the survey sample (by category).

Topics examined include: the causative mechanisms and boundary conditions affecting the sediment regime, including area topography, geology, and hydrology; availability and adequacy of data on suspended sediments in the area; time trends of fluvial suspended sediment dynamics on a seasonal (open water and ice regime) and annual basis, over the long term, and in critical events; sediment sources, pathways, and fates, and sediment dynamics at basin-wide, reach, and site levels; sediment quality, including sediment-associated characteristics of pulp mill effluents and sediment-contaminant relationships; and implications for sediment-associated contaminants. Recommendations are made for monitoring and assessment of the sediment component of the area's ecosystem.

Book Synopsis Hydraulic Modelling of the Peace-Athabasca Delta Under Modified and Natural Flow Conditions by : Bill Aitken
Download or read book Hydraulic Modelling of the Peace-Athabasca Delta Under Modified and Natural Flow Conditions written by Bill Aitken and published by The Study. This book was released on 1994 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction of the Bennett Dam in British Columbia altered natural fluctuations of downstream flows in the Peace River in Alberta, with major implications for the ecosystem of the Peace-Athabasca Delta. In later years, downstream weirs were constructed to restore the water level regime in the Delta. This report presents the results of a modelling exercise undertaken in an attempt to assess the effect of the weirs and the dam on the Delta water levels during 1985-90, at which time Lake Athabasca water levels were low and it was not clear whether the weirs were functioning properly or if the low water levels were caused by low flows coming from the upper Peace and Athabasca river basins. The methodology uses a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model, suitably modified and calibrated. The appendices include numerous plots of water levels indicating the effects of the weirs and dam on natural conditions.
