Flood of May - June 1972 in British Columbia .: En39-39/1973E-PDF

"The purpose of this report is to describe the extent and magnitude of the flooding conditions that occurred in British Columbia during the 1972 Spring freshet of May and June. The freshet was due to a base flow of snowmelt runoff augmented in the latter stages by rainfall runoff. It was the greatest flood in magnitude and extent since the historic flood of 1948. The emphasis of this report is on the Fraser and Columbia River basins, where public attention was focussed during the freshet. Statistical and interpretive material is limited essentially to these two basins"--Introd., p. 1.
