Nicola Post 2019-2021 Flood and Wildfire: Hydrology Literature Review

The Coldwater River, Spius Creek and Lower Nicola River portion of the Nicola River watershed were flown in advance of a literature review to be delivered to the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship (WLRS) in the winter of 2024‐25. The literature review will cover reports and summaries produced by various bodies/entities following the occurrence of the July Mountain and Lytton wildfires, and Atmospheric River (AR) flood event in 2021. The intent of the literature review will be to answer the question, “what’s changed in the Nicola post 2021 fire and post 2021 flood?” The opportunity to conduct an overflight in advance of the literature review was made possible by funding from the Stuwix Resources Joint Venture (Stuwix), who accompanied myself and a member of the WLRS team on the flight.
