Description
The intent of this report is to summarize and interpret water temperature and dissolved oxygen data that has been collected at sites along the Oldman River during the summer months of 1991-2001, following the construction of the Oldman River Dam. The effects of the impoundment of the Oldman River on water temperature and dissolved oxygen in the 327 km from the Oldman River Dam to the confluence of the Oldman and Bow rivers are also assessed. Additionally, predictions made prior to the impoundment of the Oldman River are evaluated and compared with post impoundment records. Finally, the pre-impoundment implementation of the Water Quality for River-Reservoir Systems (WQRRS) model is examined as the basis for the establishment of current minimum flows.--Includes text from document.
