Upper Assiniboine River Basin Study, Appendix A

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This report describes the work, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of a committee whose central focus was to examine the effects of land cover changes on the runoff regime in the upper Assiniboine River basin. Following an introduction on drainage concerns in the basin and on the committee's work, chapter 2 provides a description of the basin from a hydrologic perspective and discusses the dominant hydrologic processes in the basin. Chapter 3 sets out the issues of concern and their specific backgrounds, including flooding, wetland drainage, land cover changes, and lake management. Chapter 4 reviews the history of drainage regulation & development in Saskatchewan & Manitoba, discusses the role of the Prairie Provinces Water Board in interprovincial drainage issues, and presents a current inventory of organized drainage projects. Chapter 5 contains findings on land cover & agricultural practices in the basin, and how these have changed over the past 40 years. It also presents the committee's work on determining a relationship between the volume & area of wetlands within the basin. Chapter 6 examines methods available to assess the effects of drainage and changes in land cover & agricultural practices on hydrology. Chapter 7 presents results of data compilation & hydrologic model application. The final chapter draws conclusions based on the data & analyses, and recommends actions to mitigate the adverse impacts of land cover & land use changes.

Just One Rain Away
Author: Stephanie C. Kane
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228015308
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Not long ago it seemed flood control experts were close to mastering the unruly flows funnelling toward Hudson Bay and the Prairie city of Winnipeg. But as more intense and out-of-synch flood events occur, wary cities like Winnipeg continue to depend on systems and specifications that will soon be out of date. Rivers have impulses that defy many of the basic human assumptions underpinning otherwise sophisticated technologies. This is the river-city expression of climate change. In Just One Rain Away Stephanie Kane shows how geoscience, engineering, and law converge to affect flood control in Winnipeg. She questions technicalities produced and maintained in tandem with settler folkways at the expense of the plural legal cultures of Indigenous nations. The dynamics of this experimental ethnography feel familiar yet strange: here, many of the starring actors are not human. Ice and water – materializing as bodies, elements, and digital signals – act with diatoms, diversions, sensors, sandbags, and satellites, looping theories about glacial erratics and feminist science studies into scenes from neighbourhood parks, conferences, survey maps, plays, archival photos, a novel, an emergency press conference, LiDAR images, and a lab experiment in a bathtub. Through storytelling and environmental analytics, Just One Rain Away provides a starting point for cross-cultural discussions about how expert knowledge and practice should inform egalitarian decision-making about flood control and, more broadly, decolonize current ways of thinking, being, and becoming with rivers.
