| Abstract/Description or Keywords | In addressing issues of land use impacts on streams and fisheries resources, it is important to remember and understand the role of water and water-related processes. The Fish/Forestry Interaction Program (FFIP) on the Queen Charlotte Islands has been synoptic in nature. Available hydrological information consists primarily of precipitation and streamflow data collected by federal and provincial government agencies. These data were intended to provide general coverage of the area. In contrast, the Carnation Creek Experimental Watershed Project on Vancouver Island has been intensive in nature. Networks of hydrometeorological stations were established in the watershed to provide detailed information on streamflow and climate. Several additional studies were also carried out to provide a more in-depth understanding of hydrological processes and hydrological impacts of logging. Hydrology per se was not the primary focus of either program. Rather, the streamflow and precipitation data were intended to assist with the interpretation of the results of other studies and observations. The objective of this paper is to summarize the hydrological information and reports relevant to both programs. |
