  • Columbia River Treaty Hydrometeorological Committee
    COLUMBIA RIVER TREATY HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL COMMITTEE 2010 STATION NETWORK STATUS REPORT Mica Dam Mica Dam (BC Hydro), BC, Canada January 2011 Peter Brooks (lead) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S., U.S. Co-Chair Ann McManamon Bonneville Power Administration, U.S., U.S. Co-Chair Stephanie Smith BC Hydro, Canada, Canadian Chair Frank Weber BC Hydro, Canada, Member Columbia River Treaty Hydrometeorological Committee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Columbia River Treaty Hydrometeorological Committee (CRTHC) was established in September 1968 by the United States (U.S.) of America and Canadian Entities. The committee is responsible for (i) planning and monitoring the operation of hydrometeorologic data collection facilities, (ii) design of station networks, (iii) management of hydrometeorologic data and (iv) short- to long-range (seasonal, water supply) inflow forecasting in accord with the Treaty. It also assists the Entities in matters related to hydrometeorologic and water supply forecasting. At the 2005 Annual Permanent Engineering Board (PEB) meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, the CRTHC presented the annual update on the committee’s activities. One of the items presented was a statement “Continued struggle with network station closures/loss through 2004.” This comment evoked questions from the PEB as this statement had been included in the previous year’s report as well. The PEB was interested to learn more about the nature of the problems being encountered with respect to maintaining station networks and requested a special report be drafted by the next PEBCOM meeting in October 2005. This report evaluates stations operated in both the U.S. and Canada. In 2001, the CRTHC initiated a new method of reviewing the station networks and agreed to evaluate only changes to stations in the network as they arise, rather than trying to maintain an inventory of all of the Treaty stations.

Bayley. 2017. Columbia Valley Environmental Resource Database Analysis. Report prepared for the Columbia Wetlands Stewardship Partners. Parson, BC. CWSP Resource Database Analysis: Draft 1 Executive Summary The Columbia Wetlands Stewardship Partnership (CWSP) has identified a number of objectives to guide the work of the organization. The objectives include maintaining the functional processes that drive the Columbia Wetland system; all the present habitat elements in the system; and the entire range of historically present species in the wetlands and the river system. The CWSP has also stated that it is “important for the CWSP and agencies to have a knowledge of the natural range of variation of natural processes so that they can detect changes that may be affecting the ecosystem, especially those changes that can be influenced by management actions.” To fulfil those objectives, the CWSP must have access to the results of projects designed to expand knowledge of Columbia Wetland ecosystems, and must understand where there are knowledge gaps that could derail attempts to maintain or improve those systems. Therefore, in early 2017, CWSP initiated the creation of a resource database containing documents relevant to the headwater region of the Columbia River.

  • Landforms of British Columbia 1976
    Landforms of British Columbia A Physiographic Outline bY Bulletin 48 Stuart S. Holland 1976 FOREWORD British Columbia has more variety in its climate and scenery than any other Province of Canada. The mildness and wetness of the southern coast is in sharp contrast with the extreme dryness of the desert areas in the interior and the harshness of subarctic conditions in the northernmost parts. Moreover, in every part, climate and vegetation vary with altitude and to a lesser extent with configuration of the land. Although the Province includes almost a thousand-mile length of one of the world’s greatest mountain chains, that which borders the north Pacitic Ocean, it is not all mountainous but contains a variety of lowlands and intermontane areas. Because of the abundance of mountains, and because of its short history of settlement, a good deal of British Columbia is almost uninhabited and almost unknown. However, the concept of accessibility has changed profoundly in the past 20 years, owing largely to the use of aircraft and particularly the helicopter. There is now complete coverage by air photography, and by far the largest part of the Province has been mapped topographically and geologically. In the same period of time the highways have been very greatly improved, and the secondary roads are much more numerous. The averagecitizen is much more aware of his Province, but, although knowledge has greatly improved with access,many misconceptions remain on the part of the general public as to the precise meaning even of such names as Cascade Mountains, Fraser Plateau, and many others.
