Book excerpt: This study describes those aspects of climate, physiography, surficial geology, and soils that affect the hydrology of the salmon streams in the Fraser Delta Habitat Management Area. The study describes the local hydrologic regimes, and provides estimates of mean annual flows, mean annual floods, mean monthly flows, and seasonal 7-day flows for each of the streams. Potential licensed demand on surface waters are calculated. The impact of urbanization on hydrology is reviewed, and areas of various land uses in the study stream watersheds are calculated. The main issues occurring on the salmon streams are summarized on a stream-by-stream basis.
