  • Preliminary Calibration of a Numerical Runout Model for Debris Flows in Southwestern British Columbia
    7th International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation Preliminary calibration of a numerical runout model for debris flows in Southwestern British Columbia Sophia Zubryckya,*, Andrew Mitchella, Jordan Aaronb, Scott McDougalla a Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences – University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada bDepartment of Engineering Geology – ETH Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland Abstract Debris-flow hazard and risk assessments require reliable estimates of inundation area, velocity and flow depth to evaluate spatial impact and impact intensity. Semi-empirical numerical runout models that simulate bulk flow behavior with simple rheological models are useful in forecasting these parameters, however, they require calibration by back-analyzing past events. This paper presents the back-analysis of six debris flows in southwestern British Columbia using a novel automated calibration approach that systematically optimizes the Dan3D runout model to fit field observations. The calibration method yielded good simulations of runout length, but under-predicted flow depths in some cases, and over-predicted velocities in all cases. The best-fit Voellmy rheology parameters for the studied cases ranged from 46 to 531 m/s2 for the turbulence coefficient and 0.08 to 0.18 for the friction coefficient. There is a potential inverse correlation between friction coefficient and event volume. Calibrated parameters were compared to morphometric parameters for the study sites, which may be useful for guiding parameter selection once a larger dataset is calibrated. Ongoing work is focused on refining the calibration technique, including standardization of input parameters more relevant to debris flows. The long-term goal is to apply the technique to a larger dataset of debris-flow cases and provide practitioners with better guidance on the selection of model input parameters for forecasting purposes.

Describe the location. Online Discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHplxCMHmJc CRV Session Sketches, Summary & Topology Information contributed by Ronald Kuhn, Ohio, USA ----------- Seton Lake is a freshwater fjord draining east via the Seton River into the Fraser River at the town of Lillooet, British Columbia, about 22 km long and 243 m in elevation and 26.2 square kilometres in area.[1] Its depth is 1500 feet. The lake is natural in origin but was raised slightly as part of the Bridge River Power Project, the two main powerhouses of which are on the north shore of the upper end of the lake near Shalalth. At the uppermost end of the lake is the community of Seton Portage and the 1 mouth of the short Seton Portage River, which connects Anderson Lake on the farther side of the Portage to Seton Lake. Retrieved Mar. 1, 2015. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seton_Lake Image courtesy of Larry Bourne Sketch courtesy of Ronald Kuhn, CRV Intermediate Level Student The Bridge River hydroelectric complex consists of three dams and stores water for four generating stations. The system uses Bridge River water three times in succession to generate 492 megawatts, or 6 to 8 per cent of British Columbia's electrical supply. Hydroelectric development of the system began in 1927 and was completed in 1960. Its waters (Downton Reservoir) initially pass through the Lajoie Dam and powerhouse and are then diverted through tunnels and penstocks from Carpenter Reservoir to the two powerhouses on Seton Lake Reservoir.

  • Inventory and Habitat Enhancement of Western Screech and Flammulated Owls in the Bridge Coastal Study Area Final Report
    Inventory and habitat enhancement of Western Screech and Flammulated Owls in the Bridge Coastal Study Area Final Report June 29, 2007 Project # 06.W.BRG.01 Prepared For: British Columbia Hydro Bridge Coastal Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program Prepared By: Doris Hausleitner of Seepanee Ecological Consulting, Nelson BC Vicky Young of Eco-Vision Consulting, Victoria BC Tania Tripp of TMT Consulting, Duncan BC Prepared with Financial Support of BC Hydro Bridge Coastal Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program Executive Summary The Bridge Coastal Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program’s goal is to address the effects of hydroelectric development on the fish and wildlife inhabiting the Bridge- Coastal Generation Area. The program’s strategic plan emphasizes improving the knowledge base on rare, endangered and threatened species within hydroelectric footprint. Identification of species distribution and habitat use is imperative to the conservation of biodiversity and enhanced production. Thus, in 2006, call playback techniques were used to assess active territories in the Seton and Bridge watersheds, of the threatened Western Screech-owl ( Megascops kennicottii ) and the Flammulated Owl (Otus flammeolus ), a species of special concern . Eight Flammulated Owl and seven Western Screech-owl transects were established. These transects were surveyed three times from 19 May to 16 July resulting in 13 active Flammulated and nine Western Screech-owl territories. The Flammulated Owl territories detected on Carpenter and Seton Lakes extend the known distribution of the species. Additionally, one Flammulated Owls nesting occurrence was identified near Carol Lake in the Bridge River drainage. Of the nine Western Screech-owl territories defined, three represented breeding pairs which successfully fledged young.
