Abstract/Description or Keywords The objective of the 2003/2004 Nechako River Flow Control Project was to ensure effective release of the Annual Water Allocation (AWA), as defined in the 1987 Settlement Agreement (Anon. 1987) (a mean release of 36.8 m_/s at Skins Lake Spillway with the intent of achieving a mean annual flow of 41.7 m_/s in the Nechako River below Cheslatta Falls). The recorded mean annual Skins Lake Spillway release was 52.5 m_/s, and the mean annual flow in the Nechako River below Cheslatta Falls was recorded at 55.3 m_/s. Excluding summer cooling water releases, the calculated mean annual Skins Lake Spillway release attributable to the AWA was 37.0 m_/s.
