Brazeau Subwatershed
5.2 BRAZEAU SUBWATERSHED The Brazeau Subwatershed encompasses a biologically diverse area within parts of the Rocky Mountain and Foothills natural regions. The Subwatershed covers 689,198 hectares of land and includes 18,460 hectares of lakes, rivers, reservoirs and icefields. The Brazeau is in the municipal boundaries of Clearwater, Yellowhead and Brazeau Counties. The 5,000 hectare Brazeau Canyon Wildland Provincial Park, along with the 1,030 hectare Marshybank Ecological reserve, established in 1987, lie in the Brazeau Subwatershed. About 16.4% of the Brazeau Subwatershed lies within Banff and Jasper National Parks. The Subwatershed is sparsely populated, but includes the First Nation O’Chiese 203 and Sunchild 202 reserves. Recreation activities include trail riding, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many of the indicators described below are referenced from the “Brazeau Hydrological Overview” map locat- ed in the adjacent map pocket, or as a separate Adobe Acrobat file on the CD-ROM. 5.2.1 Land Use Changes in land use patterns reflect major trends in development. Land use changes and subsequent changes in land use practices may impact both the quantity and quality of water in the Subwatershed and in the North Saskatchewan Watershed. Five metrics are used to indicate changes in land use and land use practices: riparian health, linear development, land use, livestock density, and wetland inventory. 5.2.1.1 Riparian Health 55 The health of the riparian area around water bodies and along rivers and streams is an indicator of the overall health of a watershed and can reflect changes in land use and management practices.

HDP 2006 05 Report 1
Report #1 1998 CWS Air Surveys In response to a general lack of knowledge on the abundance and distribution of the Harlequin Duck within Alberta, the Canadian Wildlife Service in cooperation with Alberta Environment undertook helicopter surveys of the eastern slopes of Alberta in 1998 and 1999. In 1998 the survey area encompassed streams along the eastern slopes of Alberta between the communities of Grande Cache and Nordegg. Ground truthing was provided by foot surveys on the McLeod River conducted by Bighorn Wildlife Technologies Ltd. Local area biologists helped with selection of blocks of streams to be surveyed where harlequins were most likely to occur and assisted in the helicopter surveys. Helicopter survey methods are detailed in Gregoire et al. (1999). Global Positioning Coordinates (GPS) were recorded for all sightings as well as survey start and end points. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system was used for recording sightings of Harlequin Duck and other wildlife. Survey start and end points were recorded in Latitude and Longitude. Five digit numbers hand written in the field survey reports represent the BSOD (now WHIMIS) ID number for that observation.

The irrigation algorithm is based on the soil moisture deficit approach, similar to that of Pokhrel et al. (2016). The net irrigation 5 water demand is estimated as the difference between target soil moisture content (휃푇) and the simulated actual soil moisture (휃푘). 휌 퐼푅 = 푤 ∑푛 {max[(휃 − 휃 ), 0] ∗ 퐷 } (S1) ∆푡 푘=1 푇 푘 푘 -2 -3 where IR [kg m s] is the net irrigation demand, 휌푤[kg m ] is the density of water; ∆푡 is model time step; 휃푇 is given as 훼 ∗ 3 -3 휃퐹퐶 ; 휃퐹퐶 and 휃푘 [m m ] are the field capacity and simulated actual volumetric soil moisture content, respectively; 훼 [-] is the 10 parameter that defines the upper soil moisture limit which has been used varyingly from 0.5 to 1; and 퐷푘 [m] is the thickness of 휅푡ℎ soil layer, n represents the number of soil layers considered in the calculation.

FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges. Ice-cored moraines and rock glaciers are also common CONTENTS Page Abstract ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J199 Introduction----------------------------------------------------------------------- 199 FIGURE 1.

Water Quality in the North Saskatchewan River (NSR) in the Last 60 Years Has Undergone Some Substantial Changes
North Saskatchewan River Water Quality By: Steph Neufeld, M.Sc., Watershed Specialist, EPCOR Water Services Biography Steph Neufeld was born and raised on a farm near the McLeod River where she spent many summer days and nights on her banks or navigating through her waters. She completed both her undergraduate and masters degrees at the University of Alberta. Her M.Sc. degree investigated the effects of landuse change on water quality and aquatic insect communities in Alberta streams. After graduation, Steph worked in consulting as an Aquatic Biologist for several years and currently works as a Watershed Specialist for EPCOR Water Services where her focus is on drinking water source water protection and watershed management. She presently sits on the Integrated Watershed Management Plan steering committee for the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance, is president of the Alberta Lake Management Society, and a board member for RiverWatch. Abstract Water quality in the North Saskatchewan River (NSR) in the last 60 years has undergone some substantial changes. Water quality monitoring was first initiated in the 1940s in response to pollution problems in the NSR associated with the City of Edmonton. At that time municipal wastewater, which included domestic sewage and industrial wastes, received only primary treatment. Untreated sewage was discharged directly into the river during rainfall events, garbage was disposed along the river bank, and accidental oil spills at industrial sites were not uncommon. With these pressures, it is not surprising that water quality was poor. These conditions persistent until about 1960 when waste management was improved and flow‐ regulation by the newly constructed Brazeau dam increased winter flows and assimilation capacity during this critical time.
