  • Stream Crossing Inventories in the Swan and Notikewin River Basins of Northwest Alberta: Resolution at the Watershed Scale
    Stream Crossing Inventories in the Swan and Notikewin River Basins of Northwest Alberta: Resolution at the Watershed Scale Tchir, J. P. Alberta Conservation Association, Bag 900-26, 9621-96 Avenue, Peace River, Alberta, Canada T8S 1T4 [email protected] Hvenegaard, P. J. Alberta Conservation Association, Bag 900-26, 9621-96 Avenue, Peace River, Alberta, Canada T8S 1T4 Scrimgeour, G. J. Alberta Conservation Association, P.O Box 40027, Baker Centre Postal Outlet, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T5J 2M4 Abstract Aquatic habitat fragmentation, degradation and encroachment resulting from industrial activities can alter the distribution, abundance and subsequent viability of stream fi sh populations. Using GIS tools and fi eld assessments we documented crossings of streams by road networks and assessed their potential to fragment stream habitats and to act as sources of sediment intrusions into stream channels in two boreal watersheds in Alberta, Canada. Our data showed that the density of stream crossings in the Swan River watershed (0.24 crossings / linear stream km) was about three times higher than that in the Notikewin River watershed (0.068 crossings / linear stream km). Culverts were the predominant crossing structure in both basins and occurred predominantly on fi rst to third order streams. Our fi eld assessments suggest that the majority of culvert crossings in the Notikewin (61% of all crossings assessed) and Swan basins (74%) have the potential to fragment stream habitats. Culverts can obstruct fi sh passage through various processes. Undersized or improperly graded culverts can result in velocity barriers and cause downstream scouring, resulting in a perched culvert. Assuming that these structures impede fi sh passage, culvert barriers could result in limited access to about 20% and 9.5% of the total length of stream habitats in the Swan and Notikewin watersheds, respectively.

  • Physical Features
    Physical Features Chapter 2 Prepared by J. Brad Stelfox, John Godfrey, Mike Flannigan, Bob Wynes, and Greg Tink Summary Points • The geological landscape of northwest Alberta reflects the dynamic erosional and depositional history of the region. Advancing and retreating glaciers during the Pleistocene modified the pre-glacial topography, smoothing the highlands and depositing materials in topographic depressions. • Today, morainal deposits blanket most of the lowland regions. Glacial deposits on upland areas are more shallow and consequently these regions have some Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments exposed. • Soil conditions in northwest Alberta vary significantly depending on glacial history, local parent materials, climate, vegetation, and topography, with finer-textured clay-dominated soils occurring in glacial lake basins, and clay/loams with some stoniness occurring in highland regions where glacial till prevails. • Permafrost is present throughout much of the northern portions of the study area and is generally found beneath bog complexes. Permafrost is common in more northerly latitudes but yields to degraded permafrost further south. Degraded permafrost areas are those sites that provide clear evidence of permafrost in recent geologic times, but has been degraded because of changes in climate or landform. • The overall climate for northwest Alberta is continental, with warm summers and cold winters. Large contrasts in temperature between day and night, and between winter and summer are typical. For seven to eight months of the year, the air transport in northwest Alberta is from the west, which might be expected to bring moist air from the Pacific. However, most of the moisture is lost when the air passes over the Coastal Mountain Range and the Rocky Mountains, thereby giving the region its continental climate.

  • The Influence of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation on Annual Floods in the Rivers of Western Canada1
    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION THE INFLUENCE OF THE PACIFIC DECADAL OSCILLATION ON ANNUAL FLOODS IN THE RIVERS OF WESTERN CANADA1 Sunil Gurrapu, Jeannine-Marie St-Jacques, David J. Sauchyn, and Kyle R. Hodder2 ABSTRACT: We analyzed annual peak flow series from 127 naturally flowing or naturalized streamflow gauges across western Canada to examine the impact of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on annual flood risk, which has been previously unexamined in detail. Using Spearman’s rank correlation q and permutation tests on quantile-quantile plots, we show that higher magnitude floods are more likely during the negative phase of the PDO than during the positive phase (shown at 38% of the stations by Spearman’s rank correlations and at 51% of the stations according to the permutation tests). Flood frequency analysis (FFA) stratified according to PDO phase suggests that higher magnitude floods may also occur more frequently during the negative PDO phase than during the positive phase. Our results hold throughout much of this region, with the upper Fraser River Basin, the Columbia River Basin, and the North Saskatchewan River Basin particularly subject to this effect. Our results add to other researchers’ work questioning the wholesale validity of the key assumption in FFA that the annual peak flow series at a site is independently and identically distributed. Hence, knowledge of large- scale climate state should be considered prior to the design and construction of infrastructure. (KEY TERMS: Western Canada; floods; independently and identically distributed assumption (i.i.d.) of flood fre- quency analysis; multi-decadal variability; Pacific Decadal Oscillation; Fraser River Basin; Columbia River Basin; North Saskatchewan River Basin; permutation test for quantile-quantile plots.)
