Description

This manual attempts to summarize and highlight information to assist in defining species / habitat relationships relevant to Alberta environments and for a number of Alberta wildlife species. The degree of specificity of the summaries, in part or whole, varies according to the background information available. Information must often be extrapolated from studies outside Alberta, or from specific regions in Alberta; this should be taken into consideration when applying this information. The summaries have been reviewed by species experts and their comments have been incorporated. Habitat distribution maps follow the summaries; a comparative Wildlife Habitat Region map for Alberta is provided.

Description

Stream crossings are designed to handle certain sized return period flows; temporary crossings to the 25 year standard while more permanent crossings are able to withstand 50 or 100 year return period flows. In this report, only methods to estimate 25 year peak flows were examined because very little data exists to estimate 50 or 100 year flows. Recommendations on the validity of each tested method were made based on the techniques practiclity, availability of input data and accuracy of peak flow estimate.
