| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
ARC Environmental Ltd. (ARC) has been contracted by British Columbia Hydro (BCH) to review fish and aquatic information on the Shuswap River as pan of the Water Use Plan (WOP) initiated for the Shuswap River system. Following the direction of the terms of reference the project area has been separated into four separate units; Mara Lake to the outlet of Mabel lake, Mabel Lake from its outlet to Wilsey Dam, Wilsey Dam to Sugar lake Dam and upstream of Sugar Lake. This has been done to take into account the varying influences of B.C. Hydros hydroelecoic operations on the different geographical areas throughout the watershed. The report will first provide a general overview that includes study objectives and resource use within the Shuswap system as a whole. Following this general overview, a more detailed discussion for each of the four geographical areas will be presented. Finally, the report will provide a discussion of information gaps relative to the Water Use Planning Process, as well as a list of recommended studies to be undertaken to fill these gaps in information. reservoir |
