    It would be interesting to get your take on river dynamics after the recent flood event in North Carolina. Lots of coverage on this incident, but lack of cohesive reports

    Simple solution to flood management: STOP building in a flood plain. I guess 1894 wasn't enough of a warning.

    The Abbotsford flood was caused by a breakage in the dyke on the Sumas River. It had nothing to do with so called Climate Change. Was there Climate Change in the biggest Fraser River flood ever in 1948? No, Climate Change wasn’t even invented yet as the bogeyman excuse to blame everything on by the extremist eco frauds.

    For questions that were not addressed in the webinar, please find answers from the speakers below. Q: What are the primary algal groups driving the recent blooms? A: A taxonomy report was done by Larratt Aquatic Consulting on August 22nd, for BC Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Strategy and First Nations Health Authority. Anabaena sp. (recently re-classified as Dolichospermum) dominated the sample as the leading bloom organism. Several other species were noted. Q: Is there a technical document that accompanies the "Understanding Nutrients and Water Quality in the Shuswap River and Salmon River"? A: Yes. The research team at UBC-Okanagan produced technical reports. They are available at www.fraserbasin.bc.ca/Water_Quality_Reports.html#nutrient Q: Who provides the funds for the grant program? A: There are four funders for the Shuswap Watershed Council’s work. They are the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (including the District of Sicamous), Thompson-Nicola Regional District, City of Salmon Arm, and Adams Lake Indian Band. Q: Have you noticed a correlation between the catastrophic fires we have had in the last few years and the algal blooms happening? increased runoff in spring from the burned-off areas? A: That is a great question. As a Council, we do not have a field program but we have asked the Ministry of Environment & Climate Change to consider adjusting their monitoring programs to capture the effects of the White Rock Lake fire (2021) on the Salmon River and downstream to Shuswap Lake.

      Nope, it won't. What it will take is Vancouver being hit with an earthquake of 8 or higher on the ole Richter scale. Something that would flatten 3/4 of the city. The other thing that would work is for Canada's economy to totally implode to the point where five million dollars won't buy a loaf of bread. People starving, due to money being worthless. Massive hyper-inflation. I doubt this flood will lower real estate prices at all.

    The area where sumas lake sat in the 20's has sunk 20' due to subsidence. That means less water needed to flood just as bad now. Just like in California, Corcoran valley used to be a giant lake that they drained and the land has sunk 26' in the years since. Land will continue to sink and thus making flooding more prominent unfortunately.
