Download or read book Coastal Watershed Assessment Procedure Guidebook CWAP written by British Columbia. Ministry of Forests and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A watershed assessment is required before any forest development plan is prepared for a community watershed in British Columbia. This guidebook is intended to provide direction to all professionals required to conduct watershed assessments, based on an assessment of the potential for cumulative hydrological effects from past and proposed forest harvesting and road building. It first describes the components of a watershed assessment, including formation of an advisory committee, compilation of existing information, field assessments, a hydrologist's report, and making forest development plan recommendations. Finally, administrative issues are discussed. Appendices include guidance on identification of watershed units, estimation of peak flow factors, sediment source surveys, and stream channel stability classification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is a technical support document intended to help forestry practitioners collect the information they need to prepare a silvicultural treatment regime and silviculture prescription in accordance with British Columbia Forest Practices Code legislation. It deals primarily with the collection & stratification of site-specific field data. After information on office preparation, stratification, plot establishment, and mapping procedures, the guide presents data collection procedures for silviculture prescription field forms. Copies of forms are included in the appendix. The data cover such matters as site characteristics, understorey & overstorey, soils, riparian & watershed values, soil & fire hazards, silvicultural systems & objectives, harvesting, forest health, stand tending, and forest resource values.

Download or read book Best Management Practices Handbook written by Rowland Atkins and published by Watershed Restoration Program. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook represents a compilation of best management practices for hill slope restoration, as derived from Forest Renewal BC's Watershed Restoration Program and concurrent operational practices. Emphasis is on a risk-based approach to restoration that achieves effective & cost-efficient restoration practices. The introduction provides an overview of slope stability factors, erosion, and sedimentation risks in the context of hill slope restoration. Section 2 describes procedure for identifying watershed restoration priorities, building & assessing an inventory of areas requiring treatment, and developing a restoration plan. This is followed by sections on field assessments & restoration treatments for road deactivation, landslide & gully rehabilitation, and soil bioengineering for slope stability. The final section suggests procedures for preparing detailed assessment & prescription reports, planning & implementing major works, and evaluating the effectiveness of a restoration project. Includes glossary.

Download or read book Compendium of Forest Hydrology and Geomorphology in British Columbia written by Robin G. Pike and published by University of British Columbia Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, hydrologists and geomorphologists have often discussed the need to document the history, scientific discoveries, and field expertise gained in watershed management in British Columbia. Several years ago, a group of watershed scientists from FORREX, academia, government, and the private sector gathered at the University of British Columbia to discuss the idea of a provincially relevant summary of hydrology, geomorphology, and watershed management. Through this meeting, the Compendium of Forest Hydrology and Geomorphology was born. As a synthesis document, the Compendium consolidates current scientific knowledge and operational experience into 19 chapters. To ensure reliable, relevant, and scientifically sound information, all chapters were extensively peer reviewed employing the standard double-blind protocol common to most scholarly journals. Chapters in the Compendium summarize the basic scientific information necessary to manage water resources in forested environments, explaining watershed processes and the effects of disturbances across different regions of the province. In short, the Compendium is about British Columbia and is primarily intended for a British Columbian audience, giving it a uniquely regional focus compared to other hydrology texts. At over 800 pages, the Compendium showcases the rich history of forest hydrology, geomorphology, and aquatic ecology research and practice in British Columbia and sets forth the foundation for the future by showing us how much more we have yet to learn.
