Description

This report develops and applies methods to determine recreational flows (RF) for regulated (dammed) and free-flowing (non-dammed) streams of the Oldman River Basin and the Milk and South Saskatchewan rivers in southern Alberta. Specific RF values were determined for minimal flows, low flows that still provide a worthwhile paddling opportunity, and preferred or sufficient flows that represent the low end of the favored flow range.
