Abstract/Description or Keywords for Provincial hydrometric network planning and optimization; and regional streamflow analyses are in play, led by MoE's Hydrology and Hydrometric Programs Unit (contact: [email protected]). Camosun Capstone Network Operations Optimization project proposal to develop a software application for determining optimal "routes" or circuits for field operations of a network of monitoring stations within a given area. Initiated functional classification to apply to existing Provincial hydrometric network to: rectify previously identified network use issues; ensure all stations are effective, efficient and unique; and explore operational flexibility. Initiated spatial analyses of existing Provincial hydrometric network. Updating (Obedkoff) regional streamflow inventory analyses with reports completed for the following regions: Skeena (2013); Omineca-Northeast (2014); Cariboo (2015 - report yet to be posted); analyses now underway for the West Coast and South Coast (anticipated completion in May 2016); anticipated completion of the Thompson/Okanagan and Kootenay/Boundary reports is in 2017.
