Download or read book Watershed Assessment in the Southern Interior of British Columbia written by David Andrew Alan Toews and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Columbia Forest Practices Code made watershed assessment mandatory in community watersheds and on selected high-value fish streams. A research program was established to verify various concepts incorporated into the guidebook that was written to prescribe the method by which watershed assessment was to take place. Other research programs were put in place to better understand hydrologic processes that are occurring in watersheds. This report presents proceedings of a workshop organized to update those who perform & who use the watershed assessments with regard to the most recent research findings. Topics of presentations include watershed processes in interior British Columbia, assessing hydrologic risk, effects of forest cover changes on stream flow, forest influences on snow, effects of harvesting on peak flow, flow modelling, stream channel assessment, sediment budgets, assessing natural sedimentation patterns, and stream- side logging & riparian hazard assessment.

Book excerpt: A watershed assessment should be carried out before forestry activities are expanded in areas with stream resources of high value. This Extension Note reviews the draft Watershed Assessment Procedure for the Southern Interior of British Columbia, September 1993 version. The new flow chart and sample watershed should help readers visualize the steps associated with a watershed assessment.

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.

Download or read book Coastal Watershed Assessment Procedure Guidebook CWAP written by British Columbia. Forest Service and published by Forest Service British Columbia. This book was released on 1995 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The watershed assessment procedure (WAP) is a tool to help forest managers understand the type and extent of current water-related problems that exist in a watershed and to recognize the possible hydrologic implications of proposed forestry-related development in that watershed. This guidebook explains how to complete a reconnaissance-level WAP analysis for coastal areas in British Columbia according to the provincial Forest Practices Code. The procedure includes compilation on a topographic base map of data relating to peak flow, surface erosion, riparian buffers, landslides, headwaters, and watershed characteristics, then converting the raw data into indicator scores and compiling the scores onto a watershed report card. The guide includes sample worksheet forms and instructions on how to summarize the results in five impact categories and how to produce a hazard index for each category. The appendices include definitions of erosion-prone areas and descriptions of forestry impacts on surface hydrology and erosion.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watershed management issues are among the many challenges facing natural resource managers in British Columbia. This assessment, combined with a compilation of relevant research and data/information sources for northeast British Columbia, forms the basis for developing an applied research strategy to support sustainable water resource management in this region. This report presents the data collection methods used in the survey, a profile of the respondents, the ranking (High, Moderate, Low) of key research needs by topic area within each theme, and a summary of the written comments for each of the five main topical themes.--Includes text from document.

Download or read book Desktop Watershed Characterization Methods for British Columbia written by Robin G. Pike and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the accessibility of online mapping tools and GIS information has dramatically increased. As a result, it is now possible to remotely gather information about a watershed's potential disturbance, hydrologic, and climatic characteristics. The purpose of this report is to highlight current sources of online tools and watershed information, provide a template of potential disturbance drivers to consider, and ultimately create a list of questions that can be used to characterize a watershed's hydrologic regime. This document does not specify the development of watershed analysis style indicators for the purposes of watershed assessment. This technical report was developed to aid in the descriptive, hydrologic characterization of watersheds in British Columbia. This report is divided into three sections: (1) a watershed characterization template, (2) a narrative of working through the template using the Carnation Creek watershed on Vancouver Island, and (3) an example watershed characterization report write-up.--Document.
