  • Kettle River Watershed Analysis Midway, British Columbia to Stream Headwaters
    1 Kettle River watershed analysis Midway, British Columbia to stream headwaters Robert Maciak, Trevor Ford, Jenn Schroeder 2 Table of Contents Introduction p. 3 Watershed Description p. 4-10 Issues concerning quality p. 10-13 Issues concerning quantity p. 14-16 Recommendations p. 16 Monitoring strategies p. 18-20 Summary p. 21 References p. 21-22 3 Introduction The Kettle River flows from its headwaters in the Christian Valley, located in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada to the Columbia River in Washington State, USA. We have chosen the drainage upstream of Midway, BC as our sample segment. This is an ideal location for analysis for several reasons: First, the headwaters are located in this area, as are two notable tributaries, the West Kettle River and Boundary Creek; second, the Kettle is a trans-boundary river shared by both Canadian and American riparians and Midway, British Columbia is where the river first crosses the border, making it an important point internationally; third, there are a variety of land use and water quality issues; and finally, Environment Canada has available data sets for the Kettle River at Midway from 1972 to present (BWP Consulting, 2003). Before crossing into the United States, the Kettle River’s resources affect both local riparians as well as visitors. The primary value of the river is irrigation for agricultural purposes. Although, water quality in the river is reported to be excellent, there are concerns of high fluoride levels and increasing levels of fecal coli form (BC Ministry of Environment, 1996). During the summer months the Kettle is used widely by locals and visitors alike for recreational purposes.
