Description

The purpose of the Athabasca Sandhills Local Integrated Resource Plan is to provide direction for managing and using public land and resources in the planning area to provide a variety of benefits for Albertans. A resource is defined as anything perceived by society as having value, including such traditional resources as land, timber and minerals as well as less tangible resources without an obvious market value, such as unique ecosystems and recreational opportunities. Generally the plan maximizes benefits by specifying where, when and how resources will be managed and used.

Description

This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels along the Athabasca River, Muskeg Creek and the Tawatinaw River through Athabasca. The study area includes an almost 6 km reach of the Athabasca River, an almost 1 km reach of Muskeg Creek and an approximate 3 km reach of the Tawatinaw River. The design discharge for the Athabasca River is 6200 m³/s. The design discharges for Muskeg Creek and the Tawatinaw River are 30.0 m³/s and 65.0 m³/s respectively. The study was prepared in March 1993. Flood information available after study completion may not be reflected in the current flood hazard study report or flood hazard mapping.

Description

Presents a collection of archaeological studies seeking to understand the characteristics of the prehistory of the mountains and foothills that form the Eastern Slopes along the Rocky Mountains. The papers are organized in a geographical cline from south to north, with those having a more region-wide perspective being retained for the latter portions of the volume. Although considerably greater numbers of studies have been conducted in the southern half of the region, this volume contains a roughly equal number of papers based on data generated north of the Bow River valley. In some cases, these constitute the first published record of that work.

Description

This report identifies historical, annual and open water, low flow sequences for 13 stations in the Athabasca River Basin. Frequency curves are developed which provide an estimate of droughts of a specified exceedance probability. Drought events recorded on the Athabasca River below McMurray with an exceedance probability greater than 0.90 are identified and discussed. The analysis provides low flow information which can be used to determine general management guidelines for the Athabasca River Basin.

Description

An archaeological survey of the Caribou and Birch Mountains and portions of the Peace, Athabasca and Clearwater rivers in northern Alberta was directed at inventorying sites and assessing whether or not differential occupation of two ecologically dissimilar uplands had occurred. Greater usage of the Birch than the Caribou Mountains upland was evidenced by the more extensive and more densely distributed sites on the Birch Mountains. Differential use of lakes on the uplands was also recorded and possible explanations are offered for it.
