| Abstract/Description or Keywords | Low flows and water extraction for irrigation has been a matter of increasing concern for the regulatory agencies. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has made efforts in the past to encourage water users to cooperate and coordinate withdrawals to avoid dramatic changes to stream flows in drought years which result in reduced available habitat and mortality of fish and aquatic organisms (food sources). A contract was created to help DFO monitor stream flows and impacts to these streams from irrigation on a consistent basis. This documentation supplied by this is intended to supply information to aid government agencies' decisions to release water use advisories, require additional water use restrictions such as requirement of ﾓwater bailiffﾔ and stop work diversion orders. low flow, environmental flow, monitoring, streamflow, water quantity, water supply, fisheries, salmonids |
