 The MAIN RIVER "Great Canadian Rivers"
In the Main River watershed (home of the second-largest population of Newfoundland pine martens), plans to log much of the watershed's forests have alarmed biologists and conservationists.
Sandwiched between the rocky upper river and the lower rapids of the Main, the Big Steady is an enriched floodplain of calm waters, bordered by lush meadows.
Canada geese, common goldeneye, fl duck, green-winged teal and red-breasted mergansers are among the waterfowl that are drawn to the tranquil river environment.

 First-Ever “Canada's Top Ten Most Endangered Rivers" List Released
Other rivers featured in the CMER report are: the Okanagan and Fraser Rivers (British Columbia); the St. Lawrence River (Quebec); the Detroit River (Ontario); the Peel River (Yukon and the Northwest Territories); the Berens and Albany Rivers (Manitoba and Ontario); the Petitcodiac River (New Brunswick); the Main River (Newfoundland); and the Cornwallis River (Nova Scotia).
Each of the rivers represented on the list was nominated by organizations or individuals throughout the country and selected by a national committee with a broad knowledge of Canadian rivers.
Rivers were chosen on the basis of three main criteria: the regional and national significance of the river, given its ecological, cultural and historical values; the imminence and magnitude of the threat facing the river; and the likelihood that major decisions about the river’s future will be made in the next year.

Rivers in Canada flow into five ocean-equivalent drainage basins: the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic oceans, Hudson Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
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.

 Drainage, Lakes and Rivers - The Atlas of Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In Canada, there is a detailed hierarchy of drainage basins, ranging from the largest (drainage into oceans and their equivalents), down to very detailed patterns.
The difference in flow patterns in these two rivers is partly due to precipitation differences, but results mainly from the vast storage provided by the Great Lakes for the St. Lawrence River compared with the negligible lake storage on the Saskatchewan River.
The lowest flows on rivers in Canada generally occur at two times of the year: in late summer, when precipitation is low, and evaporation along with water consumption by plants is high; and in late winter, when rivers are ice-covered and the precipitation is stored until spring in the form of ice and snow.
