Lesser Slave Lake = 1160 sq km Lesser Slave River at the mouth = 20,000 sq km 4 5-May-09 Project Objectives f The Lesser Slave Watershed Council is in the process of developing a sustainable water management plan for the Lesser Slave River watershed f A thorough understanding of the hydrologic and hydraulic response of the watershed is required to develop such a plan f In order to model the various components of a hydrologic cycle including interaction between surface water and groundwater, MIKE-SHE software has been selected for the integrated model development f The developed model will be utilized to assess various scenarios including land use changes and the configuration of the existing Lesser Slave Lake control structure on lake levels and outflows 5 5-May-09 Overview of Modelling f Two models have been built – MIKE SHE and MIKE 11 (software developed by DHI) f Mike She Model computes surface runoff and baseflow based on climate and physical data f Mike 11 routes flows through rivers and lakes f Measured flows and water levels are compared against Mike 11 Modelled results (Calibration and validation) f Calibrated models are then applied for scenario analysis 6 5-May-09 Watershed Modelling – Conceptual Representation 7 5-May-09 Model Input Data Required f Watershed Maps f Digital Elevation Model (DEM) f Landuse data f Climate data (Precipitation, Temperature, Evaporation/Evapotranspiration) f River and Lake Networks f Cross sections of Rivers and Lakes f Soil Type and Subsurface data f Leaf Area Index and Root Depth f Groundwater Elevation 8

The lakeside rinks have lights and a shelter for warming up after your skate. Cross-country Skiing Wax your skis and hit the trails at Saskatoon Island, Moonshine Lake, Young’s Point, Winagami Lake and Lesser Slave Lake provincial parks. Each of the parks offer seven to 20 kilometres of set track winding through beautiful, snow-covered forests. Snowshoeing A winter walk in the woods is fun on snowshoes (please stay off the ski trails). Explore the trail system at Saskatoon Island, Moonshine Lake, Young’s Point, Winagami Lake or Lesser Slave Lake provincial parks and then enjoy your own hot chocolate around the wood stove in a day use shelter. Ice Fishing Fish for trout at Moonshine Lake Provincial Park or drop your line for walleye, pike, whitefish and perch in Sturgeon Lake off Young’s Point Provincial Park or Lesser Slave Lake off Hilliard’s Bay Provincial Park. Alberta fishing regulations apply.

  • 88 Reasons to Love Alberta Parks
    88 Reasons to Love Alberta Parks 1. Explore the night sky! Head to Miquelon Lake Provincial Park to get lost among the stars in the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve. 2. Experience Cooking Lake-Blackfoot Provincial Recreation Area in the Beaver Hills UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This unique 1600 square km reserve has natural habitats that support abundant wildlife, alongside agriculture and industry, on the doorstep of the major urban area of Edmonton. 3. Paddle the Red Deer River through the otherworldly shaped cliffs and badlands of Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park. 4. Wildlife viewing. Our parks are home to many wildlife species. We encourage you to actively discover, explore and experience nature and wildlife safely and respectfully. 5. Vibrant autumn colours paint our protected landscapes in the fall. Feel the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot and inhale the crisp woodland scented air on trails in many provincial parks and recreation areas. 6. Sunsets illuminating wetlands and lakes throughout our provincial parks system, like this one in Pierre Grey’s Lakes Provincial Park. 7. Meet passionate and dedicated Alberta Parks staff in a visitor center, around the campground, or out on the trails. Their enthusiasm and knowledge of our natural world combines adventure with learning to add value to your parks experiences!. 8. Get out in the crisp winter air in Cypress Hills Provincial Park where you can explore on snowshoe, cross-country ski or skating trails, or for those with a need for speed, try out the luge. 9.

REPORT ON THE PEACE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES IN 1891, BY WM. OGILVIE. Ottawa, Tth April, 1892. To the Honourable The Minister of the Interior Sir,—I respectfully submit the following report of my operations for the season of 1891. On the 5th of June of that year instructions were issued to me from the Surveyor- General's Office directing me to make a thorough exploration of the region drained by the Peace River and its tributaries, between the boundary of British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains, and to collect any information that may be of value relating to that region. The nature and extent of my work was, of necessity, left largely to myself, as also was the method of my surveys. As it was desirable that I should, if practicable, connect the end of my micrometer survey of the Mackenzie River made in 1888 with that made on the Great Slave River in the same year, which I was then unable to accomplish on account of high water, I took along the necessary instruments, but owing to circum- stances which will be detailed further on I found it impossible to complete this work. Immediately upon intimation that this work was to be intrusted to me I ordered a suitable canoe from the Ontario Canoe Company, Peterborough, after having ascertained that I could obtain it more quickly there than elsewhere.

  • South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program Draft Environmental Impact Statement Responsible Agency: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Cooperating Agencies: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (FS) and State of Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (MFWP) Department Title of Proposed Project: South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program State Involved: Montana Abstract: In cooperation with MFWP, BPA is proposing to implement a conservation program to preserve the genetic purity of the westslope cutthroat trout populations in the South Fork of the Flathead drainage. The South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program constitutes a portion of the Hungry Horse Mitigation Program. The purpose of the Hungry Horse Mitigation Program is to mitigate for the construction and operation of Hungry Horse Dam through restoring habitat, improving fish passage, protecting and recovering native fish populations, and reestablishing fish harvest opportunities. The target species for the Hungry Horse Mitigation Program are bull trout, westslope cutthroat trout, and mountain whitefish. The program is designed to preserve the genetically pure fluvial and adfluvial westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki lewisi) populations in the South Fork drainage of the Flathead River. In order to accomplish the goals, MFWP is proposing to remove hybrid trout from identified lakes in the South Fork Flathead drainage on the Flathead National Forest and replace them with genetically pure native westslope cutthroat trout over the next 10-12 years. Some of these lakes occur within the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Jewel Basin Hiking Area. Currently, 21 lakes and their outflow streams with hybrid populations have been identified and are included in this proposal.
