Flows required to protect water quality in the Little Bow River and Mosquito Creek

Description

To assist the development of plans for the Highwood and Little Bow River watersheds, the Science and Standards Division, Alberta Environment was asked to examine the relationship between flow and water quality in the Little Bow River and Mosquito Creek. This report presents an evaluation of the effects of flow on water quality. Equations were developed to predict the relationship between flow and dissolved oxygen in the Little Bow River, and the relationship between flow and total suspended solids in Mosquito Creek. These equations were used to estimate flows that should ensure suitable water quality.
