The goal of this study was to examine applicability to the reference-condition models of samples collected in other seasons and the effect of taxonomic resolution (genus and family) on model sensitivity to seasonal variation in the benthic invertebrate assemblage. 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.

Habitat patterns in and along two midsize streams of the Thompson River drainage, British Columbia, were examined using multivariate - statistical (factor) analyses. Terrestrial data consisted of spot counts of floral-growth forms and substrata in the lower riparian zone and qualitative assessments of floral intactness in the upper riparian zone. Results of the analyses suggest that lower-riparian vegetation does not accurately reflect floral conditions in the upper riparian zone; thus, assessments of stream habitat integrity require examination of both zones. urther studies, including holistic physiochemical analyses are necessary to establish what riparian and aquatic habitat factors consistently change with deforestation in the southern interior of British Columbia.

Airborne thermal remotely sensed images of riparian and water surface temperatures were acquired at 12 sites in the Nicola River watershed of south-central British Columbia, Canada, using a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera. The utility of the method for assessing mixing in and between riverine systems was also shown. 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.

In: Stream restoration indynamic fluvial systems: Scientific approaches, analyses and tools. The University of British Columbia Regime Model (UBCRM) is based on rational regime theory. 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.

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. Doyle, PF and Ball, JF. 2008.

The problem of assessing pollution in the catchment of the Fraser River, British Columbia, Canada, was addressed by using benthic macroinvertebrates to develop a biomonitoring program based on the reference-condition approach to water-quality assessment. 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.

NA 87 Report Freshwater for Fish and People: Moving Towards “Living Water Smart” In British Columbia, and elsewhere, water managers are faced with the challenge of balancing competing demands for water. 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.

In an effort to understand the nature and use of pilot projects and improve their effectiveness, we undertake a practice-based and theoretical study of the pilot project phenomenon. First, we examine the roles assigned to pilot projects in the policy development literature and explore their use in a Dutch water innovation platform. Second, we determine characteristics of pilot projects to deepen insights into the nature of the pilot project phenomenon and the dimensions useful in the design of pilot projects. Third, we identify three pilot types and nine ways to use a pilot project and we develop a Pilot Project Nonagon that can be used to assess pilot projects’ uses and to compare stakeholders’ perspectives on these uses. Fourth, we identify hurdles to diffusion of the knowledge developed from pilot projects and suggest strategies to overcome these. Lastly, we formulate a research agenda aimed at addressing the identified knowledge gaps. Vreugdenhil, H., J. Slinger, W. Thissen, and P. Ker Rault. 2010. Pilot projects in water management.

This report quantifies the water budget of the coldwater in pre development (before 1965) and post development (present) times. Important findings are presented on page 11. Conclusions for fish: (1) Surface water losses in the lower Coldwater River are resulting in summer low flows that are well below short term survival levels and only maintains degraded habitat quality and quantity for salmon, trout and aquatic insects that make up their food supply. (2) Lower Coldwater River temperatures in summer at low flows are exceeding lethal limits for salmon and trout, contribute to poor growth and survival, and favour non-salmon species.

Water temperature was continuously recorded during the ice-free season between June/July and October/November at 90 sites with lentic and lotic stream sources distributed throughout the Nicola River watershed (British Columbia, Canada) in 1999, 2000, and 2001. The eight lentic-sourced stream temperature monitoring sites were located in two adjacent watersheds. The headwaters and riparian areas around the wetland outlet of the treatment watershed were harvested during the overwinter period between 1999 and 2000. Areas around and downstream of the headwater wetland outlet in the control watershed were not harvested. Reducing riparian shade by harvesting activities increased maximum stream temperatures in the treatment watershed by up to 1–2°C relative to the control watershed. Because of the general downstream cooling trends in lentic-sourced headwater streams, riparian harvesting activities in these regions have a reduced thermal impact relative to similar harvesting alongside lotic-sourced headwater streams, whose maximum stream temperatures may warm by up to 8°C following harvesting. The downstream influence of elevated maximum stream temperatures from riparian harvesting of lenticsourced headwater streams appears to be localized, but persists for at least 2 years following harvesting. Both lentic-sourced treatment and control streams in the current study relaxed towards baseline equilibrium temperature estimated by the lotic-sourced watershed trend within several hundred meters of downstream travel distance, with cooling rates proportional to the distance from expected thermal equilibrium. Due to the heating in wetland-sourced stream reaches adjacent to riparian harvesting, the regions downstream of treatment areas cool more rapidly than similar regions in control watersheds as the stream attempts to achieve thermal equilibrium.

Insect life cycles and environmental conditions were examined to determine which processes were associated with patterns of community composition. To address the goals of this study, benthic macroinvertebrate samples and associated environmental data were collected over five sampling dates during the course of one year, 1995-1996 (late spring, summer, autumn, winter, early spring). Seasonal change of the benthic invertebrate community was small relative to the spatial change, i.e., between the three stream classes. Correlation analysis indicated that spatial change of the invertebrate community in southwestern British Columbia was related to the environmental factors channel width, mean depth, maximum depth, maximum velocity, discharge, conductivity, alkalinity, nitrite and nitrate nitrogen, and total Kjeldahl nitrogen. Seasonal change of the community was not directly related to the seasonal change of any of the individual environmental variables measured. It was however, related to changes in the environment through effects of the environment on invertebrate life cycles. Of the environmental conditions measured, temperature had the greatest influence on the timing of insect life cycles. Abundance patterns in the small coastal and interior streams were related to the timing of invertebrate life cycles whereas abundance was related to life cycles and the spring freshet in the large rivers. water quality, aquatic ecology, aquatic habitat, biological water quality, chemical water quality."

"Acid rock drainage (ARD) and associated metal leaching (ML) is a major pollution problem throughout the world, adversely affecting both surface and ground waters. The elevated concentrations of metals in the water column due to ARD/ML can be transferred to abiotic and biotic components of an ecosystem and adversely affect the health of aquatic life. The Pennask Creek watershed, one of the most important rainbow trout-producing environments in British Columbia (BC), has been contaminated with ARD/ML as a result of highway construction. This study was designed to comprehensively examine the Pennask Creek watershed ARD/ML problem and its environmental impacts by combining existing and newly gathered information. The overall objectives were to determine the extent of metal contamination of the water and sediments, the potential biological impacts of this contamination, the influence of local geology, and to estimate the potential risk to aquatic organisms."

This report summarizes the results of a water temperature monitoring program in the nicola river during 1994 and 1995. They demonstrate that high water temperatures are likely a limiting factor for coho and chinook salmon, and that the high temperatures are aggravated by altered land uses and the loss of riparian vegetation.

This paper documents, through the use of ethnographic research methods, First Nations' concerns and perspectives about water. The paper's scope is primarily limited to the views of three Elders from the southern Interior of British Columbia: Mary Thomas from the Secwepemc, Millie Michell from the Nlaka pamux, and Mary Louie from the Syilx Nation. Secondary literature sources complement the Elders' sharing of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). The Elders' emphasis on the spiritual importance of water is contrasted with Western science's emphasis on water's unique physical and chemical properties. This fundamental difference raises questions about Western science's approach to freshwater ecosystem management and study. Ultimately, this paper documents the wisdom of highly respected Elders about water in relation to the culture and freshwater ecosystems of South-Central British Columbia. Blackstock, M. 2001.

Provided in this report are the results of the desktop and literature review and the field programs conducted for the Project in 2012 and 2013. The report also provides the results of Aboriginal participation during the wetland field surveys.A desktop review and analysis of overflight photographs and satellite imagery was conducted for the entire proposed pipeline corridor. Wetland data collection for the Project during the 2012 and 2013 field programs utilized both helicopter reconnaissance and ground-based wetland surveys where ground access was available. The helicopter reconnaissance was used to gather high-level delineation and classification information for wetlands. Wetlands identified during the helicopter reconnaissance were ground-truthed where land access was available. The ground-based surveys allowed wetland ecologists to collect site-specific wetland function information (e.g., habitat, hydrological and biogeochemical) and confirm wetland classification and delineation. The field program focused on the 150 m wide proposed pipeline corridor. During the ground-based wetland field surveys, wetlands were classified to class and form hierarchical levels according to the Canadian Wetland Classification System (NWWG 1997) in Alberta and BC and to the Mackenzie and Moran (2004) Wetlands of British Columbia: A Guide to Identification in BC.
