This report is part of a periodic review of northern hydrometric programs to determine their adequacy for present and future uses and to recommend specific network improvements to program administrators. Information for this study was obtained through an analysis of responses to a mailed survey questionnaire, by face-to-face interactions between users of the data and water resource program managers at one-day workshops in Yellowknife and in Whitehorse; and by analysis of NWT data request logs. Classification of users by groups, the regionality of requests, and the nature of data requested were obtained from the request logs. The report summarizes the survey returns, workshop proceedings, and Yellowknife user request logs, then discusses the obtained information in relation to long-term directions for the management of northern water resources.
