  • Developing a New Reservoir Operating Plan for Lake Diefenbaker: Questionnaire Summary
    Developing a New Reservoir Operating Plan For Lake Diefenbaker: Questionnaire Summary November 2012 Executive Summary Responses to this questionnaire are from a wide variety of users who have a number of interests in the management of Lake Diefenbaker. Of the 31 questionnaire respondents, 35% relied upon or valued the system primarily for recreational services, 13% primarily for irrigational services, 6% primarily for environmental services, 3% primarily for flood control services, 3% primarily for municipal/domestic water supply services, 3% primarily for ferries/riverboat services, 3% primarily for industrial services, 3% primarily for electrical production services, and 29% indicated that their organization/community/First Nation relies upon more than one of Lake Diefenbaker services. The majority of the respondents thought all of the services that the reservoir provides are important to extremely important in the decision making associated with the management of the South Saskatchewan River Project (Question 1). It is obvious throughout the responses that users believe that no one management response will work in all situations. The renewed Lake Diefenbaker reservoir operating plan will need to be dynamic and flexible to accommodate the various flow/water level situations that arise. When looking at the ten trade-offs between services provided by the reservoir, as outlined in Question #2, six trade-off situations had equal votes for each of the two services. However, there were responses that indicated respondents had preferences to one service over another, these comparisons included: 1) a preference to flood control over hydroelectric power generation; 2) a preference to fish and aquatic habitat over hydroelectric power generation; 3) a preference to flood control over recreation downstream of the reservoir; and 4) a preference to flood control over recreation on the reservoir.

  • Background Report South Saskatchewan River Watershed
    September, 2007 Saskatchewan Watershed Authority Background Report South Saskatchewan River Watershed Executive Summary The purpose of the Background Report is to provide information on the physical, social and economical characteristics of the South Saskatchewan River Watershed and assist in the formulation of a Watershed Management Plan. This Plan will identify issues and interests to source waters and provide strategies for the South Saskatchewan River Watershed to address these issues and interests. The management and protection of water resources for the benefit of Saskatchewan residents is best served when stakeholders work together and commit to actions that support a common goal. Watershed planning is an ongoing process established by open communication between stakeholders conducted at round-table discussions within various communities. The planning process normally takes between two to three years, depending on watershed complexity. The Plan will focus on source water protection and contain information such as the Background Report of the watershed, analysis of issues and perceived threats, commitment to action, timelines and responsibilities, a measure of results and an evaluation of effort. Acknowledgements The development of the Background Report would not be possible without all the hard work and dedication from the Technical Committee members and their agencies. Special thanks to Kristin Walker, Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, for helping edit and format the Background Report.

  • Bibliography on the Limnology and Fisheries of Canadian Freshwaters
    BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE LIMNOLOGY AND FISHERIES OF CANADIAN FRESHWATERS. N0.2(REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 1982 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.2, published in 1975 as Environm. Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (504). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only, unless otherwise requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.2(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in num~rical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used. Apart from French names, it is usual for the specific name to precede the generic name, as in Elliot Lake, but in a few cases the reverse is true, such as Lake Nipissing, in which case the latter will appear as Nipissing, Lake, with a comma after the-specific name.

February 2005 John Pomeroy, Dirk de Boer and Lawrence Martz Centre for Hydrology, Department of Geography, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Sask S7N 5C8 [email protected] 1. Introduction There is little in the natural environment, economy and society of Saskatchewan that is not intimately tied to and sustained by the flow and storage of water. Nowhere else in Canada does the lack or excess of water cause such widespread concern, nor are there many Canadian environments subject to greater seasonal change in precipitation and surface-water storage. Most major landforms of Saskatchewan were created by the deposition and erosion of sediments and rock by water and ice during the glacial and immediate postglacial periods. Saskatchewan’s contemporary hydrology determines the type and location of natural vegetation, soils, agriculture, communities and commerce. However, the scarcity, seasonality and unpredictability of the province’s water resources have proved critical impediments to the productivity of natural ecosystems and to sustainable settlement and economic activity. The hydrology of Saskatchewan is marked by several distinctive characteristics that govern the behaviour of water as a resource in the province (Gray, 1970): i) The extreme variability of precipitation and runoff results in frequent water shortages and excesses with respect to natural and human storage capacities and demand.
