| Abstract/Description or Keywords | Trout Creek, as the second largest tributary watershed to Okanagan Lake, provides domestic and agricultural water supply, as well supporting important sport fish - notably rainbow trout and kokanee. Water storage and intake water diversion result in altered stream flows. As a result, there are over 13 km of stream channel in the lower reaches of the creek below the Summerland intake which have reduced streamflows. These reduced flows decrease the amount of suitable, available habitat which can result in reduced productivity and overall numbers of fish. |
