Sink it! An Okanagan Homeowner’s Guide to Using Rain as a Resource Practical and Eco-Friendly Ways to Protect Your Property and the Environment from the Effects of Rainwater Runoff Second Edition February 2021 Prepared by: Okanagan Basin Water Board Adapted with permission from: Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County and Sonoma Resource Conservation District With Federal Funding Support through Natural Resources Canada’s Regional Adaptation Collaboratives Program Copies of this guide can be obtained from: www.obwb.ca www.okwaterwise.ca 1450 KLO Road, Kelowna, BC (250) 469-6271 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This guide has been developed for educational purposes by the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) and its Okanagan WaterWise public outreach program. The rainfall capture and runoff control practices included in this guide are to be used as general guidelines and are not to be used as professional engineered specifications. Prior to implementation of ANY practices, seek technical assistance from a licensed professional engineer or landscape architect, and/or certified professionals in erosion and sediment control for specifications for these practices. Site-specific designs that address the needs and constraints of individual sites are essential. Who We Are The OBWB was instituted in 1970 through a collaboration between three Okanagan regional districts. The Board’s jurisdiction is defined by the borders of the Okanagan watershed, or basin. The basin is almost 200 km long and 8,000 km2 and stretches from the City of Armstrong in the north to the Town of Osoyoos in the south. It includes Okanagan, Kalamalka, Wood, Skaha, Vaseux and Osoyoos lakes, their tributaries, and the surrounding mountains. The overall objective of the OBWB is to undertake strategic projects and programs on a valley-wide scale that ensure a sustainable water supply for the citizens of the Okanagan while supporting member jurisdictions to meet their water management goals. Programs are supported through tax assessments on lands within the Okanagan watershed. The Board of Directors includes representatives from the three Okanagan regional districts, the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Water Supply Association of BC and the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council – a multi-stakeholder group established by the Board to provide independent science-based advice on water issues. Acknowledgements A special thank you to the Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County and the Sonoma Resource Conservation Districts who generously granted permission for us to adapt their Slow It. Spread It. Sink it! guidebooks to address the unique conditions and water challenges of the Okanagan. Many individuals contributed to the development of this guide.

    November-22-11 5:43 PM Lakeboats of the Okanagan by R. Bruce Goett MS 19 Lakeboats of the Okanagan. Page 1 November-22-11 5:44 PM (i) ABSTRACT In this discussion, the boats which provided commercial passenger and freight service on Okanagan Lake from 1882 to 1973 are examined chronologically, and in depth. Though the vessels themselves are of great interest for their own sake, some emphasis has been placed on the role they played in the social and economic development of the area in which they served.

  • Kaleden Hotel
    Kaleden Hotel Statement of Significance 1. Description The Hotel Kaleden was built in 1910 as one of the cornerstone buildings of the Town of Kaleden, designed as one of the leading buildings in the interior of British Columbia. The Hotel Kaleden was one of the first buildings to feature electric light, running water, private sleeping porches, and exclusive dining rooms. Opened in 1911, the Hotel operated until the beginning of World War 1 when the economic bases of British Columbia communities collapsed. The building sat empty until the early 1940’s when it was sold and dismantled. The shell of the building has since sat idle and was sold to the Regional District Okanagan‐Similkameen by Fred King in 1982. 2. Heritage Value Robert Hobson, Hobson and Associates, completed an Okanagan Similkameen Heritage Resource Inventory, in March 1988. The Kaleden Hotel was defined as a Class ‘B’ site: containing features worthy of conservation, with a total score of 80. Sites were evaluated using architectural (40 points), cultural (40 points) and contextual criteria (20 points). Points were removed for desecration. All sites were then assessed for historic, economic, institutional, and architectural representativeness. The Hotel Kaleden stages of development were classed under first fruit farming (1902 ‐ 1918), with transportation and commerce as the best represented economic activities. The Kaleden Hotel Regional Park has been maintained by volunteers and it is the desire of the community to see the shell maintained into the landscape of the park. The structure was dedicated with a plaque honoring pioneer families. Documentation Standards 1. Identification The structure is entirely of concrete construction, the concrete having a fairly rough, “board‐marked” finish, both internally and externally.

Submitted by: I EBA ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LTD. Kelowna, B.C. October, 1994 0808-88654 em EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I Twin Lakes Golf Resort is proposing a residential ,development on slopes overlooking the golf course, The proposal calls for approximately 256 single family residential units. Historically, development proposals in the Twin Lakes basin have raised objections primarily because of the concerns that water resources in the basin will be depleted. Recognizing the need to have water resource concerns addressed, Twin Lakes Golf Resort retained the services of EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd (EBA) of Kelowna, B.C. to undertake a hydrogeological study of the Twin Lakes basin. The purpose of the study being to determine whether water of adequate quantity and quality is available in the Twin Lakes basin to support the proposed development without causing unacceptable impacts. After a review of available information it became clear that detailed water basin and hydrogeological studies had not been completed for previous developments and should be done to properly assess the feasibility and potential impacts of the current development proposal. Further, it was clear that sufficient information on water chemistry in the Twin Lakes area was not available to meet the objectives of the study. Therefore, EBA embarked on a study aimed at investigating the water balance of the Twin Lakes basin, the hydrogeology in the vicinity of the golf course, and the water chemistry of ground and surface water in the study area.
