Book Description
The watershed assessment procedure (WAP) is a tool to help forest managers understand the type and extent of current water-related problems that exist in a watershed and to recognize the possible hydrologic implications of proposed forestry-related development in that watershed. This guidebook explains how to complete a reconnaissance-level WAP analysis for coastal areas in British Columbia according to the provincial Forest Practices Code. The procedure includes compilation on a topographic base map of data relating to peak flow, surface erosion, riparian buffers, landslides, headwaters, and watershed characteristics, then converting the raw data into indicator scores and compiling the scores onto a watershed report card. The guide includes sample worksheet forms and instructions on how to summarize the results in five impact categories and how to produce a hazard index for each category. The appendices include definitions of erosion-prone areas and descriptions of forestry impacts on surface hydrology and erosion.

Book Description
A watershed assessment is required before any forest development plan is prepared for a community watershed in British Columbia. This guidebook is intended to provide direction to all professionals required to conduct watershed assessments, based on an assessment of the potential for cumulative hydrological effects from past and proposed forest harvesting and road building. It first describes the components of a watershed assessment, including formation of an advisory committee, compilation of existing information, field assessments, a hydrologist's report, and making forest development plan recommendations. Finally, administrative issues are discussed. Appendices include guidance on identification of watershed units, estimation of peak flow factors, sediment source surveys, and stream channel stability classification.

Book Description
The Forest Practices Code of British Columbia sets out new requirements for ensuring that previously harvested areas contiguous to proposed cutblocks are greened-up before those proposed cutblocks are harvested. The requirement is a means of controlling the removal of a stand until adjacent harvested cutblocks have begun to develop management attributes, with the objective of moderating the effect of additional harvesting in the area. This guide begins by noting where green-up requirements are applicable, then describes the basic requirements for greened-up blocks, the allowable variances from basic requirements, and the approval process to be followed to verify that green-up standards have been met. Includes glossary.
Watershed Assessment in the Southern Interior of British Columbia

Book Description
The British Columbia Forest Practices Code made watershed assessment mandatory in community watersheds and on selected high-value fish streams. A research program was established to verify various concepts incorporated into the guidebook that was written to prescribe the method by which watershed assessment was to take place. Other research programs were put in place to better understand hydrologic processes that are occurring in watersheds. This report presents proceedings of a workshop organized to update those who perform & who use the watershed assessments with regard to the most recent research findings. Topics of presentations include watershed processes in interior British Columbia, assessing hydrologic risk, effects of forest cover changes on stream flow, forest influences on snow, effects of harvesting on peak flow, flow modelling, stream channel assessment, sediment budgets, assessing natural sedimentation patterns, and stream- side logging & riparian hazard assessment.
