| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The main objective of this watershed assessment process for the Peachland Creek watershed was to determine the potential impacts of proposed forest development plans on water quality and water quantity at the points of interest (POI). Potential water quality impacts associated with recreation and cattle grazing were also reviewed if concerns were identified during the field assessment. To complete the assessment of the Peachland Creek watershed, the watershed was divided into two sub-basins (P2 and P3) and one residual area (PI) [Appendix B], which are the same as outlined in the Interior Watershed Assessment Procedure (WAP) completed in 1996 by Dobson Engineering Ltd. Points of interest were defined as the mouth of the creek at Okanagan Lake (POI- 1) and the District of Peachland water intake (POI-2). range, forest harvest, water quality, water supply, recreation, road |
