Report of an intergovernmental committee representing the governments of Canada, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Established in 1974 to coordinate programs related to restoring low water levels that occured on the delta following construction of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam on the Peace River. Appendices cover hydrological and biological assessments and ancilliary studies.

In September 1974, Canada, Alberta and Saskatchewan agreed to construct remedial works in the Peace-Athabasca Delta to partially restore water levels which had been adversely affected by construction of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam in British Columbia. This final report provides an assessment of the remedial works undertaken and presents the results of ancillary studies conducted by the Committee on the growth of Creed Creek, a possible structure on the Quatre Fourches, fish passage at the weirs and modifications to the boat tramway. Recommendations for long-term hydrological and biological monitoring are included.

Report prepared at the request of the Committee to evaluate the hydrological performance of remedial weirs constructed in the Peace-Athabasca Delta on the outlet channels of Lake Athabasca. The two rock weirs were constructed in 1976 as a major part of an implementation agreement between the governments of Canada, Alberta and Saskatchewan to restore as nearly as possible water levels in the Peace-Athabasca Delta and thereby reestablish associated ecological conditions. This report represents the findings and conclusions reached by members of the Hydrology Subcommittee regarding the weir performance and hydrological conditions in the delta. The comparative model simulations for 1960-81 were constructed of the natural regime, and the regulated regime in combination with the Rivière des Rochers and Revillon Coupé weirs, using a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model developed in the late 1970s.
