................................................................................................................................... 73 iii 1.0 Introduction Streamflow and runoff volumes are highly variable across Canada and are influenced by local physiographic and climatic patterns. Many planning activities require the ability to locate, evaluate, and quantify surface water supplies. This study aims to illustrate runoff trends across the country by calculating annual unit runoff for a variety of probabilities of exceedence commonly used by decision makers. Annual unit runoff is a measure of runoff volume per square kilometre. This report uses units of cubic decametres (1000 m3) per square kilometre (dam3/km2), which is equivalent to millimetres depth on the landscape. Three previous unit runoff studies were undertaken by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, PFRA (which became the Agri-Environment Services Branch, AESB, and then merged with Research Branch to become the Science and Technology Branch of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada): 1. “The Distribution and Variability of Runoff in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba”, completed in 1964 [1] 2. “Report on Median Annual Unit Runoff for the Prairie Province”, updated in 1978 [2] 3. “Annual Unit Runoff on the Canadian Prairies”, completed in 1994 [3]. The 1964 study included 230 Water Survey of Canada (WSC) hydrometric gauging stations with effective drainage areas (EDA) smaller than 5,180 km2 and examined the study period from 1911 to1956. The second study (1978) used 543 WSC stations without any drainage area limit and examined the study period from 1912 to1972. The third (1994) study included 397 stations with EDA less than 5,000 km2 and examined the study period from 1950 to1989. The most recent two reports (1978 and 1994) included isopleth maps of the median annual unit runoff (MAUR) – the runoff volume with 50% probability of exceedence. The 1994 report also included isopleth maps for the 10%, 25%, 70%, 75%, 80%, and 90% probability of exceedence. Additional hydrometric data and the availability of more sophisticated statistical and mapping methods provide justification for the reworking and updating of these previous reports to provide new isopleth unit runoff maps. Additional years of record also provide an opportunity to expand the dataset that forms the basis for these maps. The Science and Technology (S&T) Branch has also expanded its national presence and thus it is desirable to expand the maps coverage to include as much of the country as the data will allow. This study examines runoff measurements at hydrometric gauging stations for the period 1950 to 2006 (where possible) and reports the same seven probabilities of exceedence as the previous 1994 report: 10%, 25%, 50%, 70%, 75%, 80%, and 90%. Probability of exceedence refers to the chance of a unit runoff value being equaled or exceeded in any one year. For example, an annual unit runoff of 50 dam3/km2 at a 70% probability of exceedence means that, in any given year, there is a 70% probability that the annual unit runoff will be at least 50 dam3/km2. 1 2.0 Study Period The selection of an appropriate study period is important in statistical analysis applications such as this study. A longer study period is preferable to a shorter study period in order to predict long-term behaviour of runoff, however, a limited number of water survey stations with very long records are available in Canada. When a shorter minimum record length is considered, a greater number of stations are available to include in the study sample. The 1994 study [3] determined that a 50 year period

The reports are intended to make available material that either is of interest to a limited audience or is too extensive to be accommodated in scientific journals or in existing CWS series. Demand for these Technical Reports is usually confined to specialists in the fields concerned. Consequently, they are produced regionally and in small quantities; they can be obtained only from the address given on the title page. However, they are numbered nationally. The recommended citation appears on the title page. Technical Reports are available in CWS libraries and are listed in the catalogue of the National Library of Canada in scientific libraries across Canada. They are printed in the official language chosen by the author to meet the language preference of the likely audience, with a résumé in the second official language. To determine whether there is significant demand for making the reports available in the second official language, CWS invites users to specify their official language preference. Requests for Technical Reports in the second official language should be sent to the address on the title page.

Helicopter Training School established in England on Sikorsky Hoverfly I helicopters. One of these aircraft is transferred to the RCAF. An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia). On the Russian front Soviet and Allied air forces (French, Czechoslovakian, Polish, etc, units flying under Soviet command) on their front with Germany total over 16,000 fighters, bombers, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft (Passingham & Klepacki). During January #2 Flying Instructor School, Pearce, Alberta, closes (http://www.bombercrew.com/BCATP.htm).
