Resource Name Creed et al. 2011. Hydrological principles for conservation of water resources within a changing forested landscape. SFMN, Edmonton, AB.
Resource Purpose "This report presents a set of hydrological principles that can be used to inform forest policies and practices and be translated into actions for sustainable forest management in Canada. These principles were developed as part of a backcasting-from-principles approach to planning that envisions a desired future constrained a set of principles, and then considers the policy and practical steps necessary to arrive there. Many of the concepts underlying the hydrological principles are currently represented in some provinces and territories. However, these principles should serve as the first step in opening a dialogue between forest hydrologists, managers and policy makers. This will help to establish a unified framework for sustainable forest management across the country."
