Describes a hydraulic flood routing model developed to accurately model the open water river discharge of moderate floods. The model is capable of modelling the open water discharge at intermediate sites along the Peace River where no discharge data exist. The final geometric model consists of over 1,100 computational nodes describing channel width, effective bed elevation, and channel roughness. The hydraulic flood routing model used was the cdg-1D finite element model developed at the University of Alberta. The model provides for a solution of the fully dynamic, one-dimensional open channel flow equations. In its first stage, the model covers the Peace River from Hudson's Hope to Peace Point; subsequent work will focus on extending the model to the Slave River delta and collecting additional cross- section data on the Peace River.

Describes a hydraulic flood routing model developed to accurately model the open water river discharge on the Peace and Slave rivers. The model is capable of modelling the discharge at sites where no discharge data exist. The document includes description of the development of the database for the model, including the geometric database (channel distances, surface slopes, bed profiles, channel widths and resistances) and the hydrologic data. The appendix includes a user manual for the user-friendly microcomputer program that has been set up to run historical flows (1961-93) and to simulate naturalised flows on the Peace River (1969-91).

Lists Northern River Basins Study technical reports by issue number, subject, and geographic area studied. Subject areas used to classify the reports are: hydrology/hydraulics, nutrients/dissolved oxygen, contaminants, food chain, drinking water, other uses, traditional knowledge, and synthesis and modelling. Ten geographic divisions are used: three each for the Athabasca and Peace Rivers, and one each of the Wapiti/Smoky rivers, Peace-Athabasca Delta, Lake Athabasca, and Rivière des Rochers/Slave River.

Report to the federal ministers of Environment and Indian & Northern Affairs, Alberta's Minister of Environmental Protection, and NWT's Minister of Renewable Resources. Summarises the main scientific findings of the Northern River Basins Study, which was established to examine the relationship between industrial, municipal, agricultural, and other development and the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave River basins. Reviews the characteristics of the northern river basins and their peoples, the organisation of the Study, and major findings in the areas of environmental overview, use of aquatic resources, traditional knowledge, flow regulation, fish distribution and habitat, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, contaminants, drinking water, ecosystem health, modelling, human health, and cumulative effects. Recommendations by the Study Board, First Nations, and scientific advisors regarding such issues as basin management, monitoring, research, public participation, and a successor organisation are then presented. Also includes a summary of opinions, suggestions, and recommendations expressed at 17 community workshops held throughout the northern river basins area.

Presents a synthesis of reports on the environmental and socio-economic characteristics of the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave river basins in northern Alberta. Includes information on basin hydrology, basin inhabitants, physiographic features (geology, soils, vegetation), climate and weather, fish and wildlife, land use (for urban development, agriculture, forestry, resource extraction, tourism, recreation, transportation, fishing, and hunting/trapping), water quality and quantity, and the jurisdictional framework for resource management in the basin area. The final chapter contains an outline of the history of the area and discussion of issues related to sustainable development in the basin area.

The NTBS was designed to address the ecological concerns about pulp mill expansion, and to increase scientific knowledge about environmental conditions [ecology, ecosystem sustainability, water pollution and control, habitat, effect on fish and fishing, etc.] in the major river systems of the north. The study's objectives were to gather and interpret sound scientific information about the basins, develop appropriate recommendations for basin management, and communicate effectively with the public. The government response report confirms the governments' commitment to ecosystem sustainability and to pollution control in northern rivers. First Nations and Metis aboriginal [native] peoples contributed significantly to the NRBS.

Summarizes the major modelling projects undertaken to model water quality in the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave river systems. The first section describes the scope of the problem of modelling water quality in large complex systems that are relatively oligotrophic, located at relatively high altitudes, and experience highly seasonal environmental fluctuations. It also provides a summary of the models used to predict key water quality variables. Section 2 gives a general overview of the utility and shortcomings of water quality models, with the goal of establishing key criteria for assessing the successes of models developed by the Northern River Basins Study (NRBS). Section 3 summarizes key findings of the NRBS models and evaluates the results against criteria outlined in section 2. Section 4 presents a series of recommendations for modelling dissolved oxygen, transport and fate of contaminants, and distribution of contaminants in the food chain, along with strategic suggestions for future work.

A common perception since the 1970s was that lower flows on the Peace River resulting from regulation precluded the generation of flood levels that would inundate perched basins that are separated from the open-water flow system. However, some literature references and local inhabitants have said that ice jams also played a role in some flood events. The initial objective of this study was to determine the relative role of ice jams in flooding in the Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD). Assuming ice jams to be a significant factor, a second objective was to determine the hydrometeorological conditions that lead to their generation near the PAD and a third objective was to determine what role flow regulation has had on their formation. The study uses analysis of hydrometric data in conjunction with various historical and local sources to show the extent to which open water floods could flood the higher elevations in the PAD.
