PRELIMINARY INFORMATION 1.1 INTRODUCTION This report is one of four State of the Basin reports described below. Each report gives specific information to provide a snapshot that illustrates the current condition of the Cold Lake–Beaver River (CLBR) Basin. The reports contain inventory and assessment information related to surface and groundwater quantity, quality and aquatic resources of the basin. Also identified are the management tools that are currently available to address water issues in the basin. In addition to providing background information and a knowledge base for the CLBR plan, the reports update information in the 1985 planning documents. Developing the State of the Basin reports was a collaborative team effort using expertise from Alberta Environment, Sustainable Resource Development, Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, Prairie Farm Rehabilitation and Administration, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and the Lakeland Industry and Community Association (LICA). The four State of the Basin reports prepared for the CLBR Basin Plan Update are as follows: ► Surface Water Quantity and Aquatic Resources State of the Basin Report: This document contains an overview of regional hydrology, lake-based water balance studies, an assessment of current and historical surface water allocation and uses, and best management practices for municipal, agricultural and industry water conservation. The report also contains an assessment and update of fish and fish habitat, wildlife and recreation in the basin. ► Groundwater Quantity and Brackish Water State of the Basin Report: This document contains an assessment of fresh and brackish groundwater uses, groundwater/surface water interactions, and the geological/hydrogeological framework of the basin. ► Groundwater

    TABLE OF CONTENTS acknowledgements vii introduction Fidler in Context 1 first journal From York Factory to Buckingham House 43 second journal From Buckingham House to the Rocky Mountains 95 notes to the first journal 151 notes to the second journal 241 sources and references 321 index 351 COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION FIDLER IN CONTEXT In July 1792 Peter Fidler, a young surveyor for the Hudson’s Bay Company, set out from York Factory to the company’s new outpost high on the North Saskatchewan River. He spent the winter of 1792‐93 with a group of Piikani hunting buffalo in the foothills SW of Calgary. These were remarkable journeys. The river brigade travelled more than 2000 km in 80 days, hauling heavy loads, moving upstream almost all the way. With the Piikani, Fidler witnessed hunts at sites that archaeologists have since studied intensively. On both trips his assignment was to map the fur-trade route from Hudson Bay to the Rocky Mountains. Fidler kept two journals, one for the river trip and one for his circuit with the Piikani. The freshness and immediacy of these journals are a great part of their appeal. They are filled with descriptions of regional landscapes, hunting and trading, Native and fur-trade cultures, all of them reflecting a young man’s sense of adventure as he crossed the continent. But there is noth- ing naive or spontaneous about these remarks. The journals are transcripts of his route survey, the first stages of a map to be sent to the company’s head office in London.

Gurrapu UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Sunil Gurrapu, candidate for the degree of Special Case Doctor of Philosophy in Geography, has presented a thesis titled, Assessment of the Influence of Nonstationary Climate on Extreme Hydrology in Southwestern Canada, in an oral examination held on November 7, 2019. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Dr. Stephen Jacques Dery, University of Northern British Columbia Co-Supervisor: Dr. David Sauchyn, Department of Geography & Environmental Studies Co-Supervisor: *Dr. Kyle Hodder, Department of Geography & Environmental Studies Committee Member: *Dr. Jeannine St. Jacques, Adjunct Committee Member: Dr. Peng Wu, Environmental System Engineering Committee Member: Dr. Ulrike Hardenbicker, Department of Geography & Environmental Studies Chair of Defense: Dr. Fanhua Zeng, Faculty of Graduate Studies & Research *Via ZOOM conferencing ABSTRACT The demand for water supplies across southwestern Canada has increased substantially over the past century with growing population and economic activities. At the same time, the region’s resilience to the impacts of hydrological extremes, floods and droughts is challenged by the increasing frequency of these extreme events. In addition, increased winter temperatures over the past century have led to declines in winter snowpack and caused earlier snowmelt, leading in some years to a substantial shortage of water during late summer and fall seasons.

  • Sheep River Hazard Study Update Notice
    Sheep River Hazard Study Study update notice We would like to provide an update on the status of the Sheep River Hazard Study. The multi-year study started in fall 2015 and we recognize there is tremendous interest in new flood mapping products. Municipal review and public engagement for draft flood inundation maps and related technical reports is complete. In response to feedback we received, revisions to hydraulic modelling and flood mapping are underway to better represent Highway 22 bridge hydraulics in the Black Diamond area. Internal review of draft flood hazard maps continues, and a new approach to mapping floodways and updating flood hazard maps is being implemented. The new approach will better balance flood adaptation and resilience priorities and provide expanded flood hazard information to enhance public safety and inform local decision-making. We are exploring future municipal review and public engagement opportunities for draft flood hazard mapping, and will provide an update when more information becomes available. The Sheep River Hazard Study is being completed under the provincial Flood Hazard Identification Program, the goals of which include enhancement of public safety and reduction of future flood damages through the identification of river and flood hazards. More information about the Alberta Flood Hazard Identification Program can be found at: www.floodhazard.alberta.ca If you have any questions regarding this work, the project engagement and education specialist, Alyssa Robb, can be contacted at: Email: [email protected] Telephone: 403 512-4450 Flood Hazard Identification Program: https://www.alberta.ca/flood-hazard-identification-program.aspx ©2021 Government of Alberta | September 17, 2021 | Environment and Parks Classification: Public Project background and study progress The Sheep River Hazard Study assesses and identifies river-related hazards along 60 km of the Sheep River upstream of the Highwood River confluence, and 35 km of Threepoint Creek upstream of the Sheep River confluence.

  • Assessment of the Status of the Sport Fishery for Walleye at Pigeon Lake, 1999. B. Patterson Conducted As Part of the Alberta
    Assessment of the Status of the Sport Fishery for Walleye at Pigeon Lake, 1999. B. Patterson Conducted as part of the Alberta Conservation Associations Sportfisheries Monitoring Program, NE Region April, 2000 ABSTRACT To recover or maintain Alberta's walleye fisheries, a new walleye management strategy was implemented in 1996. In 1996, the walleye fishery at Pigeon Lake was classified as a collapsed/stocked walleye fishery and a zero (0) daily bag limit was implemented. In order to assess the status of the walleye fishery, a creel survey was conducted during May to August 1999. During the 1999 survey, the number of anglers was estimated at 3,420. The total angling effort was low at 1.1 hours / ha. The sport fishery reported releasing 602 walleye (0.30 walleye released / hour). Two walleye were illegally harvested. Historical information indicates that the walleye population in Pigeon Lake was marginal. The walleye fishery was extirpated in the 1960s. Stocking efforts between 1979 and 1984 failed to re-establish the walleye fishery. More than 18.4 million walleye fry and fingerlings were stocked between 1994 and 1999. This effort seems to have produced a marginal population. Based on the criteria used to classify walleye stocks in Alberta, the status of the walleye population in Pigeon Lake remains collapsed. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The creel survey attendants at Pigeon Lake, Mark Feldberg, Les Harris, Layla Neufeld and John Tchir, deserve full credit for the success of this study. Their dedication to the collection of creel and test fishery data is commendable. The hospitality of Doug Pilkington and the staff of Pigeon Lake Provincial Park is greatly appreciated.

Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) has been a commercial recovery process since the mid 1980’s in the Cold Lake area in northeast Alberta. Also, Several Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) projects are in operation in different types of reservoirs in the Cold Lake area. There is a debate over whether CSS is more efficient in the Cold Lake reservoirs or SAGD. It is very important for producers to know broadly about the performance and efficiency of the oil recovery process.
