WILLISTON RESERVOIR WATERSHED: FISH AND ... - BC Hydro

2.0 METHODS
2.1 STUDY BOUNDARY
METHODS
The data search focussed on those regions of the watershed located upstream of the
Peace Canyon Dam (downstream end of Dinosaur Reservoir) (Figure 1). The PWFWCP
sponsored nine projects in the Pine River system, which flows into the Peace River
approximately 110 km downstream of Dinosaur Reservoir, between 1991 and 1998.
Although these projects were not undertaken in the primary study area, they are included
in this report because they represent work completed and financed by the Program (see
Appendix A).
2.2 SEARCH FOR DATA SOURCES
2.2.1 Library Catalogues
The internet catalogues of one government library, one college library and three university
libraries were searched for information relevant to Williston Watershed’s aquatic resources
(see Section 2.3 for acronym definitions) (Table 1):
TABLE 1. INTERNET LIBRARY CATALOGUES SEARCHED.
CATALOGUE INTERNET ADDRESS
(1) BCMELP Main Library, Victoria http://www.elplibrary.gov.bc.ca
(2) CNC Library, PG http://www.cnc.bc.ca/library/library/htm
(3) UBC Library, Vancouver http://www.ubc.ca
(4) UNBC Library, PG http://library.unbc.ca
(5) U of A Library, Edmonton http://www.library.ualberta.ca
The library catalogues were searched using the names of gazetted waterbodies (1:250,000
Energy, Mines and Resources maps and forest company road maps) as keywords.
Information on regional Arctic grayling (a regional high-priority species) populations was
searched for using “Arctic grayling” as a keyword. Relevant reports from PWFWCP Report
Series were gathered from the PWFWCP Library, Prince George (see Section 2.4).
