Description

Streambed oxygen demand (SOD) is thought to account for a significant fraction of the total oxygen demand in the Athabasca River in the winter. SOD was sampled in the Athabasca River from October 1994 to March 1995 with objectives of obtaining a series of measurements from upstream of Hinton to the Calling River area, and investigation temporal change in SOD at key sites.

Description

This report presents the findings of water quality monitoring and surveys on the Athabasca River system by Alberta Environmental Protection in the years 1990 to 1993. Water quality has been monitored by means of longitudinal synoptic surveys, recording meters, and a network of regular sampling sites. The effects of effluents are quantified and evaluated with reference to the Alberta Ambient Surface Water Quality Interim Guidelines and the Canadian Water Quality Guidelines. The results of this set of surveys are compared with previous winter water quality surveys from 1988 and 1989.

Hinton - Athabasca River and Tributaries - flood hazard study

Description

This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels for Athabasca River and Happy, Hardisty and Maskuta Creeks through Hinton. The study area includes an almost 10 km reach... More ≫

Description

This study delineates flood hazard areas and determines design flood levels for Athabasca River and Happy, Hardisty and Maskuta Creeks through Hinton. The study area includes an almost 10 km reach of the Athabasca River, an almost 4 km reach of Hardisty Creek and less than 1 km reaches of both Happy and Maskuta Creeks. The design discharge for the Athabasca River is 1390 m³/s. The design discharges for Happy, Hardisty and Maskuta Creeks are 33.2 m³/s, 10.6 m³/s and 134 m³/s respectively. The study was prepared in May 1994. Flood information available after study completion may not be reflected in the current flood hazard study report or flood hazard mapping.

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.
