    "Understand How Water Reaches the Stream and Design for Interflow", urges Department of Fisheries and Oceans


    “Interflow is often the dominant drainage path in glaciated landscapes of British Columbia. Even undeveloped sites founded on till and bedrock rarely show overland flow because of interflow pathways. The lesson is that the interflow system is an incredibly important and yet fragile component of a watershed. It is critical for maintaining stream health and our fishery resource,” states Al Jonsson of DFO.

    Partnership with University of British Columbia leads to development of ‘Tree Canopy Module’ for Water Balance Model


    “For the past three years we have been educating practitioners and others on the importance of soil depth as a rainwater management tool. Looking ahead, implementation of the Tree Canopy Module is the first step in developing a similar science-based understanding regarding the benefits of maintaining a tree canopy in the urban environment,” stated Ted van der Gulik. While considerable research has been undertaken in forest stands in the natural environment, very little has been
    done in an urban setting anywhere in North America.
