This report identifies historical, annual and open water, low flow sequences for 13 stations in the Athabasca River Basin which can be used to determine management guidelines for the River basin
Resource
Monthly flows are provided for the period 1912 to 1980 at 21 locations on the Athabasca River and its major tributaries. The flow data sets are suitable for water management planning
Resource
Nearly 76% of all water used in the basin in 1981 was obtained from the river, 22% from major tributaries and other surface sources, and the remaining 2% from groundwater
