  • Water Supply Assessment for the North Saskatchewan River Basin
    WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT FOR THE NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER BASIN Report submitted to: North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance DISTRIBUTION: 3 Copies North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance Edmonton, Alberta 4 Copies Golder Associates Ltd. Calgary, Alberta March 2008 08-1337-0001 March 2008 -i- 08-1337-0001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In an Agreement dated 22 January 2008, the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance (NSWA) contracted Golder Associates Limited (Golder) to assess the water supply and its variability in the North Saskatchewan River Basin (NSRB) under natural hydrologic conditions and present climatic conditions. The NSRB was divided into seven (7) hydrologic regions to account for the spatial variability in factors influencing water yield. The hydrologic regions were delineated such that the hydrologic responses were essentially similar within each region, but different from region to region. The annual yield for each hydrologic region was estimated as the average of the annual yields of gauged watersheds located completely within the hydrologic region, if available. Thirty-four hydrometric stations within the NSRB were included in the analysis. For the assessment of natural water yield, only those data series or portions thereof that have been collected under natural flow conditions were considered. A key aspect of the water yield assessment in the NSRB was the estimation of water yield in watersheds with non-contributing areas. The calculation of water yield for each hydrologic region and sub-basins in the NSRB was based on the effective drainage areas of gauged watersheds and on effective drainage areas within each hydrologic region or sub-basin. The non- contributing areas as delineated by the Prairie Farm and Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) for the NSRB were used.

WILLIAMS, Jr., and JANE G. 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.

  • Information for Identification of Candidate Critical Habitat of Bull Trout
    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Central and Arctic Region Science Response 2020/044 INFORMATION FOR IDENTIFICATION OF CANDIDATE CRITICAL HABITAT OF BULL TROUT, SALVELINUS CONFLUENTUS (SASKATCHEWAN-NELSON RIVERS POPULATIONS) Context Bull Trout, Salvelinus confluentus, is a char endemic to western North America. They occur in cold, clean, complex, and connected watercourses and are sensitive to habitat alterations due to their specific habitat requirements (COSEWIC 2012). They are divided into five Designatable Units (DU) determined by their National Freshwater Biogeographic Zone classification, range disjunction, and genetic lineage. The distribution range of Bull Trout has decreased over the last century, resulting in fragmented and isolated populations. Declines in population abundance have been observed across the range, particularly in the USA and the eastern range in Alberta (DFO 2017). Major threats to Bull Trout are habitat alteration, habitat fragmentation or loss, non- native species, and overfishing. Additionally, climate change, cumulative effects of habitat loss/degradation, road development, and resource extraction also represent threats to Bull Trout (DFO 2017). The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has assessed Bull Trout (Saskatchewan-Nelson rivers populations), DU 4 as Threatened (COSEWIC 2012). In August 2019, the Government of Canada listed Bull Trout (Saskatchewan-Nelson rivers populations) as Threatened under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). Subsequently, a Recovery Strategy must be developed that identifies the species’ Critical Habitat, or “the habitat that is necessary for the survival or recovery of a listed species and that is identified as the species Critical Habitat in the Recovery Strategy for the species”. Under the SARA, S.41.1(c), a species’ Critical Habitat must be identified to the greatest extent possible, based on the best available information.
