The benthic invertebrate assemblage changed seasonally such that the models could not be used for seasons other than autumn. The models were equally sensitive to seasonal variation when genus-level or family-level data were used. We recommend that test samples (i.e., samples collected from disturbed sites and meant for comparison with the reference database) be collected either during the autumn or over multiple sampling dates to reduce the possibility that seasonal shifts or stochastic events will lead to erroneous conclusions about the state of a test site.","Full\nCitation":"Reece, PF, Rynoldson, TB, Richardson, JS and Rosenber, DM. 2001.

Overall, aerial remote sensing of stream and riparian surface temperatures appears to be a promising technology for assessing spatial heterogeneity, and may be useful in conjunction with conventional in-stream methods as part of a hybrid spatial-temporal observing system for aquatic management, provided further work is performed to validate observed temperatures near exposed streambanks, in vegetation shadows, and other areas where emissive interference may be problematic.","Full\nCitation":"Rayne, S and Henderson, G. 2004.

A feature of the model is that it quantifies the effect of bank vegetation and its effect on channel geometry. Three bank vegetation models can be applied to gravel bed rivers with either noncohesive, cohesive, or composite banks. Simplified dimensionless equations for width and slope derived using the UBCRM are applied to a site on the Coldwater River, British Columbia. Between 1953 and 2003, there were significant land use changes that included riparian and floodplain clearing. The observed widening and steepening can be explained by a reduction in bank strength and that changes in the sediment load, discharge, or grain size do not appear to be significant. Applied correctly, the UBCRM can provide qualitative and quantitative insight into the primary causes of historic disturbance and can serve as an aid in restoration design. Because of the physically based nature of the parameters in the UBCRM, analysis and design are directly linked to fluvial processes including flow resistance, sediment transport, and bank stability.","Full\nCitation":"Millar, RG and Eaton, BC. 2011.

To determine changes in ice cover regime in a region of BC where river ice cover formation in winter is normal but also problematic in some years due to mechanical breakup of ice covers in mid-winter or freeze-up at high discharges, published Water Survey of Canada data on active gauging stations in the region with more than 30 years of record were investigated to determine ice cover trends. A total of 22 stations on 18 different streams that met the four study criteria of little or no missing data over the annual ice cover period, no changes to gauge location over the period, no major disturbances in the watershed, and having some ice cover in all or nearly all winters were analysed. The 4 indicators of change in annual ice cover ultimately chosen from the readily available published streamflow data were: time from first ice to last ice, longest continuous ice cover duration, date of first ice cover, and date of last ice cover. The data for individual streams showed very weak linear regression correlations between all 4 dependent variables with time over the 30 year period from 1976 to 2005 due to the large variation in the 4 indicators from year to year. However, as a group, they showed clear regional trends: first ice to last ice cover interval is growing shorter (19 support and 1 contrary), longest continuous ice cover duration is getting shorter (22 support), first ice effect day is occurring later (19 support and 3 contrary), and last ice effect day is occurring earlier (16 support and 5 contrary). A look at the same ice cover data for 7 of these 22 stations over periods of record longer than 30 years show the same results for 3 of the 4 indicators.","Full\nCitation":"Doyle, PF and Ball, JF. 2008.

Results indicate that summertime flows were reduced approximately two decades after onset of harvesting and these reductions correspond to decreases in modelled fish habitat. The lag-time between forest harvesting and reductions in flow may be due to regenerating forests that use more water than the mature forests that were there before.","Full\nCitation":"Stefan Gronsdahl. 2019.

The reference condition is represented by groups of minimally disturbed sites organized by selected physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Potentially impaired sites in the catchment can eventually be compared against the appropriate reference group. Multivariate statistics are used to create the reference groups of macroinvertebrate assemblages, to create the physicalchemical models to predict group membership, and to compare potentially impaired sites with reference groups. Techniques are described for: (1) selecting reference sites; (2) choosing physical, chemical, and biological variables to be measured at each site and the methods of measurement involved; (3) developing the sampling and processing protocols used for benthic macroinvertebrates; (4) creating a family-level predictive model of invertebrate assemblage structure, and testing it with sites exposed to logging, mining, and agricultural disturbances; and (5) choosing appropriate metrics for analysis and interpretation.","Full\nCitation":"Rosenberg, DM, Reynoldson, TB and Resh, VH. 1999.

The objectives were to \na) quantify current (2006) water demand by sub-basin and sector on an annual, monthly and weekly basis (August and September);\nb) compare water demands with licensed quantities in the watershed in order to identify potential water licensing issues;\nc) evaluate irrigation efficiency in the watershed;\nd) develop future projections of water demand by sector and sub-basin taking into account three different growth and climate change scenarios.\nActual water use data was not readily available. Therefore, the report provides only estimates of water demand and water use.

Limits in supply or high demand create situations of water scarcity where not enough water is available for both human (out-of-stream) and ecological (instream) needs. As well, governing laws, institutions, or managers often do not to recognize that instream needs have a prior, or at least equal, right to water comparable to other users. In some situations water is allocated to out-of-stream users first, with instream needs being an afterthought or only if excess water exists. Current trends in B.C. suggest that balancing needs for  water will become increasingly difficult in the future: the population is growing; rates of water consumption are among the highest in the country and the world; water use is currently in conflict with instream needs in many locations; climate change is increasing water scarcity; and populations of freshwater reliant fish species, such as Pacific salmon, are in decline.","Full\nCitation":"Nelitz, M., T.
