	Mackenzie River
		The river's peak discharge occurs in June, but its flow is generally uniform because of the flat Barren Lands east of the river and the many large lakes in the system.
		The lakes and rivers of the Mackenzie and its tributaries are open from mid-June to the beginning of November in the northerly areas.
		The main headwaters are the PEACE RIVER and the ATHABASCA RIVER, while the main stream (1738 km) issues from the shallow swamps and mudbanks of the West Arm of GREAT SLAVE LAKE.

		Runoff is that part of precipitation that flows toward the rivers or streams on the ground surface or within the soil (subsurface runoff or interflow).
		The discharge of a stream or river is derived from Canadian water level measurements at the furthest-downstream gauging station, and is converted to streamflow discharge in cubic feet per second or cubic metres per second.
		The river in Canada with the greatest annual discharge is the St. Lawrence River at 9 850 cubic metres per second.
