	Fraser River
		The gravel banks of the Fraser then increase in height to 50-100 m, where the river has cut down into the glacial deposits of the central Interior Plateau; the river's velocity of flow increases south of Prince George as it is joined by several tributaries, the largest being the NECHAKO R from the northwest.
		The Fraser enters FRASER RIVER CANYON south of Quesnel, and where it is joined by the Chilcotin River from the west, the river has cut down 300-600 m into the bedrock of the Interior Plateau.
		In this middle section the Fraser is joined by large tributaries such as the Quesnel and THOMPSON rivers from the east and the West Road and Chilcotin rivers from the west.

	Fraser Canyon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		View of Fraser Canyon near Fountain, BC View of Fraser Canyon looking upstream from Fountain, B.C. The Fraser Canyon is a stretch of the Fraser River where it descends rapidly through narrow rock gorges in the Coast Mountains enroute from the Interior Plateau of British Columbia to the Fraser Valley.
		Fish ladders along the river's side permit migrating salmon to bypass a rockslide that diverted the river during the blasting of the CNR line in 1913.
		The river is navigable between Boston Bar and Lillooet and also between Big Bar Ferry and Prince George and beyond, although rapids at Soda Canyon and elsewhere were still difficult waters for the many steamboats which piloted its "foamy brine" in the 1800s and early 1900s.

	Fraser River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fraser River is the longest river in British Columbia, Canada, rising near Mount Edith Cavell in the Rocky Mountains near Mount Robson and flowing for 1400 km (870 mi), into the Pacific Ocean at the city of Vancouver.
		The upper reaches of the Fraser River were first explored by Sir Alexander Mackenzie in 1793, and fully traced by Simon Fraser in 1807, who confirmed that it was not connected with the Columbia River.
		Much of B.C.'s history has been bound to the Fraser, partly because it was the essential route between the Interior and the Lower Coast after the loss of the lands south of the 49th Parallel with the Oregon Treaty of 1846.

	MIGHTY RIVER by RICHARD BOCKING
		The Fraser River is the lifeblood of a vast domain encompassing half of British Columbia's forests and agricultural lands, the majority of the provinces's salmon streams, two-thirds of its human population and 80 percent of its economy.
		And the Fraser's domain is vast: the river's basin encompasses a quarter of British Columbia and half of its forests and agricultural lands, the majority of the province's salmon streams, and two-thirds of its human population.
		One of the great assets of the Fraser River is the stong connection to their river felt by many of the people who live along its banks; they share a profound sense of place and of belonging.

	Fraser River Gravel Reach Studies
		How unstable a river is depends upon the size of the sediment load deposited annually in comparison with the size of the river.
		Fraser River deposits are modest and the river is not highly unstable.
		At the highest level, we divide the river into 5 reaches that are distinguished on the basis of channel gradient, surface grain size, gravel transport rate, and pattern of aggradation.

	Fraser River Gravel Reach Studies
		Fraser River presents a significant potential flood hazard to human settlement and activities within the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
		Between Laidlaw and Sumas Mountain (see figure), the riverbed of Fraser River is rising slowly because gravel that the river transports out of the mountains is deposited there.
		Experience elsewhere has taught us that when large volumes of gravel are mined from rivers, the river changes dramatically and, with it, the river ecosystem.

	Fraser Basin Council - Programs
		The Fraser Basin Council is pleased to announce a new partnership in flood hazard management with the Province of British Columbia and local governments.
		The Fraser Basin Council is committed to helping communities at risk of flooding, using an integrated approach to flood management that has the support and participation of all levels of government, the private sector and the general public.
		An integrated approach was necessary due to increasing population levels and development pressures on the floodplain, a decline in federal and provincial funding for floodplain programs, a lack of clear jurisdictional responsibility for flood management, and the recognition that floodplain management must be integrated with land use planning and environmental management.
