Current and future water issues in the Oldman River Basin of Alberta, Canada.
Long-term trends in alpine and prairie snow pack accumulation and melt are affecting streamflow within the Oldman River Basin in southern Alberta, Canada. Unchecked rural and urban development also has contributed to changes in water quality, including enhanced microbial populations and increased waterborne pathogen occurrence. In this study we look at changing environment within the Oldman Riv...
متن کاملFeminization of Longnose Dace (Rhinichthys cataractae) in the Oldman River, Alberta, (Canada) Provides Evidence of Widespread Endocrine Disruption in an Agricultural Basin
We sampled an abundant, native minnow (Longnose dace-Rhinichthys cataractae) throughout the Oldman River, Alberta, to determine physiological responses and possible population level consequences from exposure to compounds with hormone-like activity. Sex ratios varied between sites, were female-biased, and ranged from just over 50% to almost 90%. Histological examination of gonads revealed that ...
متن کاملOn the Changing Contribution of Snow to the Hydrology of the Fraser River Basin, Canada
This paper presents an application of the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model to the Fraser River basin (FRB) of British Columbia (BC), Canada, over the latter half of the twentieth century. The Fraser River is the longest waterway in BC and supports the world’s most abundant Pacific Ocean salmon populations. Previous modeling and observational studies have demonstrated that the FRB is a...
متن کاملOrigin and evolution of formation waters, Alberta Basin, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. II. Isotope systematics and water mixing
-Isotopic measurements (Sr, O, D) on formation waters from the Alberta Basin have been made, covering a stratigraphic range from Devonian to Upper Cretaceous. These measurements, combined with chemical compositional trends, give evidence for two distinct water regimes. One hydrological regime is composed of waters hosted in Devonian-Lower Cretaceous reservoirs, the other waters from Upper Creta...
متن کاملIsotope hydrology of southern Nevada groundwater: Stable isotopes and radiocarbon
A new !O map of southern Nevada groundwater shows a systematic decrease in !O of !5‰ from 36" to 39"N latitude. The variation is consistent with higher-latitude recharge following continuous flow paths along north-south trending graben valleys and systematically increasing in !O due to mixing with lower-latitude, higher-!O recharge. The data do not suggest that large masses of groundwater with ...
