Proceedings of the Northern River Basins Study Instream Flow Needs Workshop : October 14-15, 1993 and January 6-7, 1994 / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 4103-C1 by Gordon L....: R71-49/3-66E-PDF

"The need for addressing instream flow needs in the Northern River Basins Study (NRBS) arises primarily from issues related to flow regulation on the Peace River. Flow regulation may have adverse effects on important or critical fish habitats and has clearly affected riparian habitats along the Peace River mainstem and in the Peace-Athabasca Delta. The purpose of the IFN workshop was to review methods and approaches for conducting IFN analyses, consider there applicability in the Northern River Basins, and develop recommendations for undertaking IFN investigations as part of the NRBS. The Instream Flow Needs Workshop was divided into two sessions; one on IFN related to fisheries and aquatic habitats, and one on IFN related to riparian and delta habitats. Each session included 20-30 invited participants from universities, federal and provincial government agencies, and environmental consulting companies. Workshop participants included invited speakers as well as other knowledgeable scientists in the areas of fish and fish habitat, aquatic ecology, riparian vegetation and wildlife habitat, river geomorphology and sedimentology, hydrology, and river hydraulics"--Report summary.
