Hydrometeorological conditions controlling ice-jam floods : Peace River near the Peace-Athabasca delta / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 1422-C1 by T.D. Prowse, M. Conly and...R71-49/3-103E-PDF

"This study stemmed from the concerns raised regarding the long term trying trends affecting the Peace Athabasca Delta (PAD), one of the world's largest freshwater deltas. A common perception during the 1970's and 1980's was that lower flows on the Peace River due to regulation by the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, minimized the probability of large open water flood events capable of inundating the perched basins of the PAD adjacent to the Peace River. Local traditional knowledge and other anecdotal information suggested that ice jams also played a role in some flood events"--Report summary.
