| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This report presents the results of an overview hydrologic assessment of the Pasayten River watershed (#56), located approximately 35km south of Princeton within the Merritt Forest District. The purpose of the report is to assess the hydrologic impacts of historical and proposed forest harvesting. Pasayten River watershed is comprised of a number if discreet sub-basins plus a large residual area. Part of the watershed is located in the United States and is beyond the scope if this survey except the US portion in the Peeve Creek that is used to determine the ECA of Peeve Creek. This report presents field results of the Pasayten River from the POI at the confluence with the Similkameen River upstream to be Canada/ US border. The 1997 IWAP results for Pasayten River watershed indicated a high hazard for the surface erosion and peak flow impact categories; hazards at other impact categories were low. watershed assessment, peak flow, soil erosion |
