Local names are in lower case and enclosed in brackets. Statistical Area: As defined by D.F.O., showing areas of catch for B.C.Waters (Map dated Jan. 1974) Districts and Subdistricts: As defined by D.F.O.(Map 1985) RAE Numbers: The Aquatics Unit of the Resource Analysis Branch, Ministry of the Environment have assigned a hierarchical coding system (RAE number) to drainage basins of British Columbia. RAE numbers classify catchment areas and river channels. Further information on RAE coding system can be found in IfA Hierarchical Watershed Coding System for British Columbia", RAE Technical Paper #3, Ministry of the Environment, Victoria, B.C. June 1980. Geographic Co-ordinate Reference: The geographic co-ordinates given indicate the centre of each feature, except for streams, where the po­ sition of the mouth is given. The geographic co-ordinates are to the nearest minute. ix Length: The portion of the stream accessible to spawning salmon. Drainage: Area in square kilometers of the entire drainage basin feeding the stream. Discharge: Extremes of maximum and minimum daily discharge for the period of the last 30 years. Discharge date is taken from "Historical Stream now Surrrnary" , British Columbia, Water Survey of Canada. Temperature: As described (oC) Barriers and Points 0f difficult ascent: Complete and partial barriers to salmon and their distance from the stream mouth.
