| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
This report summarises the Year 4 (2011) implementation of CLBMON-3 Kinbasket and Revelstoke Reservoirs Ecological Productivity Monitoring project (“the study”). This report contains preliminary data and conclusions are subject to change. Any citations of this report or the data contained herein must note this status. The Columbia River Water Use Plan (WUP) (BC Hydro 2007a) was concluded in 2004 following four years of public consultation (BC Hydro 2005). Water Use Plans were developed for each of BC Hydro’s facilities to achieve optimal balance among operations and environmental and social values. A lack of basic ecological data and information on Kinbasket and Revelstoke Reservoirs impeded informed decisions for any operational changes in the upper Columbia River system. The WUP Consultative Committee acknowledged the importance of understanding reservoir limnology and the influence of current operations on ecosystem processes for planning future water management activities. Therefore, a monitoring program was recommended to provide long-term data on reservoir limnology and the productivity of pelagic communities. This study is conducted in conjunction with CLBMON-2 Kinbasket and Revelstoke Reservoirs Kokanee Population Monitoring and is scheduled for implementation over twelve years (2008-2019). hydrology; tributary water quality; CTD surveys; reservoir water chemistry; primary productivity; phytoplankton; zooplankton |
