1972 Peace River flood attenuation by Williston Lake / prepared by: B.A. Broderick, W. Nemanishen. : En39-149/1973E-PDF
"Exceptional heavy rainfall occured in the headwaters of the Peace River basin from June 9 to 13, 1972. Historic flood crests were subsequently recorded at many points in unregulated portions of the drainage basin. Severe flooding was caused in the town of Peace River where Water Survey of Canada operates a gauging station. The river crested here at a gauge height of 42.32 feet, which corresponds to a discharge of 550,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). This is the second highest recorded flood crest: the historic 1935 crest has been estimated at 600,000 cfs"--Synopsis.
