    Assessment of the Influence of Nonstationary Climate on Extreme Hydrology of Southwestern Canada

    ASSESSMENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF NONSTATIONARY CLIMATE ON EXTREME HYDROLOGY OF SOUTHWESTERN CANADA A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research For the Degree of Special Case Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of Regina By Sunil Gurrapu Regina, Saskatchewan January 2020 Copyright 2020: S. Gurrapu UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Sunil Gurrapu, candidate for the degree of Special Case Doctor of Philosophy in Geography, has presented a thesis titled, Assessment of the Influence of Nonstationary Climate on Extreme Hydrology in Southwestern Canada, in an oral examination held on November 7, 2019. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Dr. Stephen Jacques Dery, University of Northern British Columbia Co-Supervisor: Dr. David Sauchyn, Department of Geography & Environmental Studies Co-Supervisor: *Dr. Kyle Hodder, Department of Geography & Environmental Studies Committee Member: *Dr. Jeannine St. Jacques, Adjunct Committee Member: Dr. Peng Wu, Environmental System Engineering Committee Member: Dr. Ulrike Hardenbicker, Department of Geography & Environmental Studies Chair of Defense: Dr. Fanhua Zeng, Faculty of Graduate Studies & Research *Via ZOOM conferencing ABSTRACT The demand for water supplies across southwestern Canada has increased substantially over the past century with growing population and economic activities. At the same time, the region’s resilience to the impacts of hydrological extremes, floods and droughts is challenged by the increasing frequency of these extreme events. In addition, increased winter temperatures over the past century have led to declines in winter snowpack and caused earlier snowmelt, leading in some years to a substantial shortage of water during late summer and fall seasons.

    Alberta Conservation Association 2008/09 Project Summary Report Project name: Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) River and Lake Data Collection Program Fisheries and Aquatic Program Manager: Peter Aku Project leader: Tyler Johns Primary ACA staff on this project (including seasonals): Tyler Johns, Nathan Carruthers, Chad Lyttle, Clayton James, Jason Leathem and Kris Maier. Partnerships: This program was completely funded by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute. Key findings: • We conducted fish and invertebrate community surveys on eight lakes and eight rivers distributed across the province of Alberta. • Limnological and aquatic habitat data were collected at all sampling sites. • A complete listing of results is available at the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute website (www.abmi.ca). Introduction This program is a partnership between the Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) and the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), developed in 2007 under which the ACA Fisheries Program manages and delivers the rivers and lakes sampling component of the ABMI aquatic program. Data collected as part of this program will be used to describe the state of Alberta’s biodiversity and will facilitate the responsible management of our resources. A more detailed description of the program can be found on ABMI’s website at www.abmi.ca. Methods We sampled eight lakes and eight rivers distributed across the province of Alberta (Table 1, Figure 1) following methods described in the River and Lake Data Collection Protocols developed by ABMI (2007 a, b). Fish were collected using electrofishing, gill netting and seining. We also collected data on water quality, aquatic invertebrates and a variety of other limnological and aquatic habitat variables.

  • The Influence of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation on Annual Floods in the Rivers of Western Canada1

    The Influence of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation on Annual Floods in the Rivers of Western Canada1

    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION THE INFLUENCE OF THE PACIFIC DECADAL OSCILLATION ON ANNUAL FLOODS IN THE RIVERS OF WESTERN CANADA1 Sunil Gurrapu, Jeannine-Marie St-Jacques, David J. Sauchyn, and Kyle R. Hodder2 ABSTRACT: We analyzed annual peak flow series from 127 naturally flowing or naturalized streamflow gauges across western Canada to examine the impact of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on annual flood risk, which has been previously unexamined in detail. Using Spearman’s rank correlation q and permutation tests on quantile-quantile plots, we show that higher magnitude floods are more likely during the negative phase of the PDO than during the positive phase (shown at 38% of the stations by Spearman’s rank correlations and at 51% of the stations according to the permutation tests). Flood frequency analysis (FFA) stratified according to PDO phase suggests that higher magnitude floods may also occur more frequently during the negative PDO phase than during the positive phase. Our results hold throughout much of this region, with the upper Fraser River Basin, the Columbia River Basin, and the North Saskatchewan River Basin particularly subject to this effect. Our results add to other researchers’ work questioning the wholesale validity of the key assumption in FFA that the annual peak flow series at a site is independently and identically distributed. Hence, knowledge of large- scale climate state should be considered prior to the design and construction of infrastructure. (KEY TERMS: Western Canada; floods; independently and identically distributed assumption (i.i.d.) of flood fre- quency analysis; multi-decadal variability; Pacific Decadal Oscillation; Fraser River Basin; Columbia River Basin; North Saskatchewan River Basin; permutation test for quantile-quantile plots.)

  • Watershed Selection for the AESA Stream Water Quality Monitoring Program

    Watershed Selection for the AESA Stream Water Quality Monitoring Program

    Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture Resource Monitoring Water Quality Watershed Selection for the AESA Stream Water Quality Monitoring Program Anne-Marie Anderson1, Sandra E. Cooke2, and Neil MacAlpine2 1 Alberta Environment, Water Sciences Branch, Edmonton, Alberta 2 Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, Edmonton, Alberta Executive Summary A provincial stream survey conducted under the Canada-Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture (CAESA) agreement described the existence of relationships between agricultural intensity of small agricultural watersheds and stream water quality. A strong commitment was made under the new Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture (AESA) agreement to continue to monitor water quality in small agricultural watersheds as the industry grows and practices change. The AESA Water Quality Monitoring Committee revisited the watershed selection process under the CAESA program as new technology (e.g GIS) and databases were available to select representative watersheds across Alberta. New databases, such as Agricultural Region of Alberta Soil Inventory Database (AGRASID), PFRA annual unit runoff digital maps and 1996 Canada census data, were used to define overland runoff potential and agricultural intensity. All data were rolled up and mapped according to PFRA gross watersheds of Alberta. Watersheds were ranked according to agricultural intensity. Agricultural intensity indicators included manure production (tonnes/acre), fertilizer expenses ($/acre) and chemical expenses ($/acre) to represent the livestock and cropping sectors. Runoff potential was determined according to landform and soil characteristics that facilitate overland runoff. Twenty-three watersheds were selected to cover the range of agricultural intensity that typifies the province. Most of these watersheds have soil and landscape features that promote runoff. The report describes how representative these watersheds are in a provincial and regional context.
