| Resource Name | Kamloops Forest Hydrology Abstracts Library |
| Resource Purpose | The Forest Hydrology Abstracts Library is a searchable database of references for approximately 2500 papers published prior to the year 2000. The papers in this collection cover a wide range of topics relevant to forest hydrology, such as streamflow, water quality, snow accumulation and melt, the energy balance, evapotranspiration, interception, soil moisture, fish habitat, climate change, and general watershed management. Many of the papers included here are conference presentations, technical reports, or government reports that are difficult to find or are unavailable on-line and through libraries. The Abstracts Library is intended to help retain and provide an easily searchable archive of pre-internet references that form the foundation of modern forest watershed management and research. |
