This report presents the results of an overview hydrologic assessment of the Juliet Creek watershed, located approximately 45km south-west of Merritt within the Merritt Forest District. The main purpose of the report is to assess the cumulative hydrologic impact of historical and proposed forest harvesting in the watershed. Juliet Creek watershed is somewhat oval in shape and drains an area of 8, 916 ha. The mainstem meanders west to east from steeply sloped headwaters at sub-basins to a broad valley flat near the mouth at the Coldwater River (1010m elevation). The watershed is the largest tributary to the Coldwater River. The highest point in the watershed is July Mountain at an elevation of 2134m. July Creek is a major tributary to Juliet Creek, and comprises 2090 ha or 23% of the total watershed area. watershed assessment, peak flow, erosion, sediment |
