Emerging Issues in Mountain Watershed Management

Did you miss Living Lakes Canada’s, advisor Hans Schreier’s webinar last week?

The fourth and final webinar in our partners, the  Columbia Basin Watershed Network Winter Webinar Series.

Mountain watersheds are very sensitive to changes in land use and increased climatic variability and recent extreme events show that we are experiencing significant changes in streamflow regimes, sediment transport and water quality. The session will show how land use activities and climate are affecting the availability of water, flooding problems, summer droughts and its effect on environmental services. Examples will be provided to show how Increased climatic variability combined with changes in forest cover, recreational activities, and agriculture are impacting watersheds and how innovative land use management practices can minimizing some of these  impacts. It will also show what role community groups can play to protect streams and reduce the different risks.
