The quantity and quality of water flowing within an undeveloped river, such as the Peel River and its tributaries, largely depends on the climate, relief, vegetation and geology of the surrounding watershed. Ignoring anthropogenic influences, the quantity and quality of water in the river reflects the cycle of the seasons, the rate of movement and volume of water that moves from the land into the river, and the amount and type of material, both particulate and dissolved, that the water transfers from the land of the watershed into the river.

Cette ligne directrice vise à répondre au risque important d’inondation causé par les embâcles, qui ont toujours été la cause la plus fréquente d’inondation aux Territoires du Nord-Ouest (TNO). Les événements récents ont encore une fois mis en évidence les conséquences des embâcles. Il est donc essentiel que les organismes municipaux, provinciaux et territoriaux, ainsi que les communautés autochtones, disposent des indications nécessaires à l’établissement de cartes techniques des aléas d’inondation.

This report provides a summary of the work done between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2020 to meet the commitments of the Alberta-Northwest Territories Bilateral Water Management Agreement. The report is based on technical reports. Links to the full text of the original reports, where available, are provided in Appendix A.

Accurate land cover maps are critical to our understanding of how water moves across the landscape and necessary to predict impacts of climate change on water resources. Wilfrid Laurier University researchers created and tested a new method to map land cover types – such as forests, bogs and fens – in the headwaters of the Scotty Creek basin, located in the southern Taiga Plains ecozone approximately 55 kilometres south of Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories (NWT).
