The Little Bow Gets Bigger – Alberta's Newest River
ALBERTA WILDERNESS Article ASSOCIATION Wild Lands Advocate 13(1): 14 - 17, February 2005 The Little Bow Gets Bigger – Alberta’s Newest River Dam By Dr. Stewart B. Rood, Glenda M. Samuelson and Sarah G. Bigelow The Little Bow/Highwood Rivers Project includes Alberta’s newest dam and provides the second major water project to follow the Oldman River Dam. The controversy surrounding the Oldman Dam attracted national attention that peaked in about 1990, and legal consideration up to the level of the Supreme Court over federal versus provincial jurisdiction and the nature and need for environmental impact analysis. A key outcome was that while environmental matters are substantially under provincial jurisdiction, rivers involve fisheries, navigation, and First Nations issues that invoke federal responsibility. As a consequence, any major water management project in Canada requires both provincial and federal review. At the time of the Oldman Dam Project, three other proposed river projects in Alberta had received considerable support and even partial approval. Of these, the Pine Coulee Project was the first to advance, probably partly because it was expected to be the least controversial and complex. That project involved the construction of a small dam on Willow Creek, about an hour south of Calgary. A canal from that dam diverts water to be stored in a larger, offstream reservoir in Pine Coulee. That water would then be available for release back into Willow Creek during the late summer when flows are naturally low but irrigation demands are high. Pine Coulee was generally a dry prairie coulee and reservoir flooding did not inundate riparian woodlands or an extensive stream channel. -

Sediment Fingerprinting in the Lower Little Bow River Using Cs-137 As a Tracer
Melody Caron et al. Sediment fingerprinting in the Lower Little Bow River Sediment fingerprinting in the Lower Little Bow River using Cs-137 as a tracer Melody Caron Department of Soil Science, University of Manitoba David A. Lobb Department of Soil Science, Watershed Systems Research Program, University of Manitoba Jim J. Miller Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Kui Liu Department of Soil Science, University of Manitoba Phillip N. Owens Environmental Science Program, University of Northern British Columbia The Lower Little Bow River watershed is a source of irrigation water for southeast Alberta. However, sediment in the river can be detrimental to both irrigation pump equipment and the health of the river. In order to understand and manage how sedi- ment moves through a watershed, a study of sediment sources was conducted along a reach of the Lower Little Bow River employing fingerprinting techniques. The radionuclide cesium-137 was used as a tracer to determine whether the sediment in the river is being generated by surface or subsurface erosion processes. The main sources of sediment were found from subsur- face erosion of an irrigation return-flow channel, coulee walls, and the river’s stream banks. This demonstrates that subsurface erosion is the principle generator of sediment in the Lower Little Bow. Through measurement of multiple points along the reach, the study also determined that the composition of the suspended sediment load did not change as it moved downstream in the river.

Public Registry of Designated Travellers In accordance with the Members By-law, a Member of the House of Commons may designate one person, other than the Member’s employee or another Member who is not the Member’s spouse, as their designated traveller. The Clerk of the House of Commons maintains the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. This list discloses each Member’s designated traveller. If a Member chooses not to have a designated traveller, that Member’s name does not appear on the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. The Registry may include former Members as it also contains the names of Members whose expenditures are reported in the Members’ Expenditures Report for the current fiscal year if they ceased to be a Member on or after April 1, 2015 (the start of the current fiscal year). Members are able to change their designated traveller once every 365 days, at the beginning of a new Parliament, or if the designated traveller dies. The Public Registry of Designated Travellers is updated on a quarterly basis. Registre public des voyageurs désignés Conformément au Règlement administratif relatif aux députés, un député de la Chambre des communes peut désigner une personne comme voyageur désigné sauf ses employés ou un député dont il n’est pas le conjoint. La greffière de la Chambre des communes tient le Registre public des voyageurs désignés. Cette liste indique le nom du voyageur désigné de chaque député. Si un député préfère ne pas avoir de voyageur désigné, le nom du député ne figurera pas dans le Registre public des voyageurs désignés.
