Neave Creek Hydrological Assessment

abstractNeave Creek and Lillian Lake form part of a snowmelt-driven watershed. Concerns about water quality in Lillian Lake have prompted interest in better understanding streamflow contributions from Neave Creek. To address this, a process-based hydrological model was developed to evaluate water availability and estimate natural streamflow contributions from Bruce Mountain to Neave Creek. The model was used to examine how land cover disturbance, future climate conditions, and flow diversions influence water availability. This work provides a basis for evaluating water supply reliability and supporting future water management and infrastructure planning within the Neave Creek watershed.
