	Ontario's Grand River, by Ian Martin
		The Grand River Conservation Authority's (GRCA) mandate for flood protection and low-flow augmentation protected river headwaters in the Luther Marsh wildlife area, and allowed collection of spring runoff by the Shand Dam near the town of Fergus.
		In 1994 the Grand was designated a Canadian Heritage River in recognition of its importance in both human and natural history, and in 2000 the GRCA and its partners in conservation received the Theiss International River Management prize honouring the revitalization of the Grand.
		Today, Ontario's Grand River may be the best tailwater fishery for brown trout in eastern North America.

	ABSTRACT: Some geomorphic effects of a catastrophic flood on the Grand River, Ontario (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A flood of unprecedented magnitude was recorded on the Grand River in southwestern Ontario on May 16-17, 1974.
		Channel, floodplain, and valley side features produced by the 1974 flood were mapped and described on a reach of the Grand and its tributary, the Conestoga River.
		The minor geomorphic impact of the 1974 flood suggests that the Grand River valley is geomorphologically well-adjusted to handling large discharges.

	FAOL - Our Man In Canada #89 - The Blue-Ribbon Grand - week 134-
		As explained by G.R.C.A. representative Warren Yerex, the Grand River drainage is the largest populated area in Canada that is dependent on a singular source of ground-water from a river for its water consumption needs.
		This latter portion of the river has a slower gradient, more occurrences of sand, gravel and upwellings, and a good riffle-run-pool ratio; making this stretch a more classic piece of fly-fishing water as compared to the faster, bed-rock-channeled, upper portion of the stream.
		Plans for extending special regulations to include the entire tailwater sections of the Grand are in the works, as are plans to augment spawning habitats in the upper, gorge area of the river.
