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 Life After NRBS written by John Stager and published by . This book was released on 1996-04-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proposes principles and goals to act as a basis for designing the future management of the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave River basins, suggesting what kind of river system is wanted. Reviews models of other inter-jurisdictional bodies for managing resource issues and assesses their applicability for northern Alberta basin management; also discusses the role of science and monitoring of the basin ecosystem, the legislative and jurisdictional issues involved in water resource management, the role of the public and First Nations, and results of a stakeholder survey on the future of basin management. Finally, a new structure is proposed for managing the three basins, involving an inter-jurisdictional board and a separate and independent committee to oversee the stewardship of the management functions. The proposal is designed so that it could fit within the Transboundary Management Agreement for the Mackenzie River. The appendix contains a draft document of an Alberta-Northwest Territories Mackenzie headwaters management agreement.
