As early as 1970, and continuing into the year 1973, concerned citizens of the Smithers area brought to the attention of the Water Resources Services the fact that nuisance weed growths were occurring (and increasing) in Kathlyn Lake. In response to this... -
Detailed Fish Habitat, Riparian and Channel Assessment for Select Central Bul...
Land use activities have had a significant impact on many of the tributaries within the central Bulkley River watershed. Preliminary air photo analysis has indicated that high value fish habitat has been moderately to severely impacted in a large proportion... -
Upper Bulkley Floodplain Habitat: Modifications, Physical Barriers, and Sites...
The Bulkley River upstream of the Morice River has some of the most intense public and private land use in the Skeena watershed. The purpose of this assessment was to document human-induced modifications to floodplain habitat and river channelization,... -
Telkwa Coal Project Appendix 12: Aquatic Resource Assessment 1985
Studies were undertaken during 1984 to evaluate aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates, and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and the lower Telkwa... -

Hydrology Section Report: Skeena Region Low Flow Memorandum
This document contains memoranda concerning estimates of low flows of designated streams in the Skeena Region. The purpose of the low flow estimates is to assess the availability of water to supply current and potential water licenses at designated stream... -
Glaciers, Streams, and Salmon (Video)
The glaciers at the head of our watersheds are receding as the climate warms. As this icy reservoir dwindles, downstream impacts in the form of warmer stream temperatures and lower flow volumes may have detrimental impacts on salmon. This presentation... -
