Model for spectral colour variations of British Columbia river waters / by J.H. Jerome and R.P. Bukata, National Water Research Institute, Canada Centre for Inland Waters ; P.H. Whitfield, Conservation...: En13-5/90-168E-PDF

"The optical model developed at NWRI for relating water colour to the organic and inorganic components co-existing within inland lakes has direct application to river systems. This is dramatically shown in this joint venture between NWRI and the Water Quality Branch in Vancouver. A two year study of water colour variations at fourteen river stations in the Canadian Cordillera has enabled the water quality model to successfully interpret the colour of British Columbia river water in terms of elevation, drainage area, glacial-feed, groundwater intrusion, and complexity of input sources"--Management perspective.
