This book was released on 1996 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to assist the Northern River Basins Study Board to discern the attitudes and concerns of basin residents on water management issues and possible recommendations, the Board designed a five-step program to obtain the information. This report concerns the third step, the implementation of data gathering surveys. It describes the survey sample design and selection, questionnaire design, and implementation of a household survey. The study area consisted of 12 regions based on drainage patterns and telephone prefixes in the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave river basins in northern Alberta. Appendices contain the project terms of reference and a copy of the household survey questionnaire.
Download or read book Fish Collections Peace Athabasca and Slave River Basins September to December 1994 written by Toni-Lynne Jacobson and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a study that collected and prepared fish from 23 sites along the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave river drainages in order to conduct physical, physiological, contaminant, and biophysical analyses. The primary fish species targeted for collection and analysis was burbot, used as a sentinel species for monitoring contaminants in northern waters because of its wide distribution, ease of catching, place at the top of the aquatic food chain, and large liver which can bioaccumulate organic compounds. Other species collected were northern pike, longnose sucker, and flathead chub. Specific analyses included gross pathology, metals, liver mixed function oxygenase induction, sex steroids and gonad morphology, retinols, metallothioneins, and basic life history information. Fish were also examined externally and internally for gross pathological abnormalities and deformities. Appendices contain descriptions of fish collection and handling protocols, as well as detailed data.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern River Basins Study Board will be formulating recommendations covering many areas likely of consequence or interest to basin residents. To assist the Board in this task, a series of projects was initiated to survey the residents on their use of northern river basins waters. Existing information was either not available or as extensive as required. This report details the background work undertaken to devise a survey instrument and strategy to capture for households a representative cross-section of information on water use and resident attitudes toward the water resource. The report also assesses the most effective means for approaching and obtaining information from stakeholder groups. The appendix includes the project terms of reference, a description of how the population stratification method could be applied for the survey, and a draft questionnaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Begins by showing where the northern river basin area of Alberta fits into various climate classifications, then presents current climate data for the northern basins in the form of tables, graphs, and figures. Some of the weather regimes that lead to given temperature and precipitation events across the basins are discussed. This is followed by description of specific meteorological phenomena such as winter weather, snow, permafrost, freezing rain, historical meteorological events such as floods, extreme temperatures, and storms, and an examination of aspects of climate with respect to climate-based activities such as agriculture. Appendices include maps of meteorological stations, temperatures, and precipitation.
Download or read book Cumulative Impacts Within the Northern River Basins written by Frederick J. Wrona and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NTBS was designed to address the ecological concerns about pulp mill expansion, and to increase scientific knowledge about environmental conditions [ecology, ecosystem sustainability, water pollution and control, habitat, effect on fish and fishing, etc.] in the major river systems of the north. The study's objectives were to gather and interpret sound scientific information about the basins, develop appropriate recommendations for basin management, and communicate effectively with the public. The government response report confirms the governments' commitment to ecosystem sustainability and to pollution control in northern rivers. First Nations and Metis aboriginal [native] peoples contributed significantly to the NRBS.

Book excerpt: The Northern River Basins Study Board will be formulating recommendations covering many areas likely to be of consequence or interest to basin residents. To assist the Board in this task, a series of projects was initiated to survey the residents on their use of northern river basins waters. This report details the efforts undertaken to develop a list of stakeholders that should be approached for input in a workshop setting. These efforts included designing a stakeholder questionnaire, conducting a telephone survey, and analyzing the data. It also reviews the survey results, including the types and membership of stakeholder groups, use of river basins, water management and water use concerns, and preferred location and time of the proposed workshops. The appendix includes a copy of the questionnaire and a directory of stakeholder groups in the survey sample (by category).
