  • Short History of Marmot Creek Experimental Watershed: People, Places and Things Done
    Short History of Marmot Creek Experimental Watershed: People, Places and Things Done R. Rothwell Professor Emeritus University of Alberta Department of Renewable Resources Abstract Short History of Marmot Creek Experimental Watershed: People, Places and Things Done The Marmot Creek Experimental Watershed which was one of the earliest if not the first long term paired-basin study in Canada designed to assess the effects of forest cover manipulation on water flows. This paper describes events leading to the start of Marmot Creek project, persons and agencies involved in the project and a legacy of continued hydrological research, education and watershed management in Western Canada. Background…. • The East Slopes of the Rockies are a primary source of water for the prairie provinces.. • Extensive forest fires in the mid 1930s burned large areas of the East Slopes… • Significant flooding following the fires raised concerns for the protection of the East Slopes • Following World War II the Eastern Rockies Conservation Board (ERCB) was created in 1947 by federal-provincial legislation ERCB … Mandate • The ERCB was to.. – Plan, advise, direct, supervise and carry our the following: • Construct, operate, and maintain projects, and facilities for the protection of the forest of the area from – Fires, insects, disease and other damage • And manage these “…forests to obtain the greatest flow of water in the Saskatchewan River and its tributaries.” • The ERCB was terminated in 1973. The research and management programs (Marmot, Streeter) continued with little change until 1988 when the Marmot Creek Experimental Watershed program was terminated by the Alberta Government with the advent of the Winter Olympics and anticipated expansion of the Nakiska Ski complex into the watershed.
