| Abstract/Description or Keywords | What are researchers finding out about hydrological changes caused by the Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) infestation and a changing climate in the Fraser Basin its sub-basins? What are the real-world impacts that we are and will be dealing with? How can we enhance collaboration to respond to, and minimize these impacts? The Fraser Basin Council has recently hosted 2 workshops to address these questions: Hydrological Impacts of Mountain Pine Beetle in the Fraser Basin held in Kamloops in March 2010 with 30 participants Fostering Collaborative Responses to Hydrological Changes in the Nicola Watershed held in Merritt in March 2011 with 50 participants The purpose of this document is to share the following information: key findings of current research and implications at the sub-watershed level lessons learned for the benefit of other interior watersheds recommendations for further research and multi-interest collaboration outline a communications plan for dissemination of this report |
