	Mackenzie Basin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mackenzie Basin, popularly and traditionally known as the Mackenzie Country, is a roughly elliptical and elevated area (700m/3000 ft above sea level) near the centre of the South Island of New Zealand.
		The majority of the Mackenzie Basin is within Canterbury, although the small part of the basin to the south of the Waitaki River is in Otago.
		Prominent rivers to cross the Mackenzie Basin include the Waitaki, the Ahuriri, the Hakataramea and the Tekapo Rivers.

	Introduction
		The Mackenzie Basin is regulated by numerous diverse cold-region phenomena such as snow and ice processes, permafrost, Arctic clouds, and radiation interactions.
		The Mackenzie Basin is one of the great river basins of the world, ranking tenth largest by drainage area metric.
		The hydrologic regime of the Mackenzie Basin is influenced by the major physiographic regions (Western Cordillera, Interior Plain, Precambrian Shield and Arctic Coastal Plain), permafrost which covers a significant portion of the basin, and vegetation which varies from Boreal forest to Arctic and alpine tundra.

		The Mackenzie River Basin has cultural, political, geographic and environmental characteristics, which are unique and significant by world standards.
		The Basin is huge at 1.8 million km, over one-sixth of the area in Canada, but with only a small population of 360,000 people.
		The Ministers signed the Mackenzie River Basin General Agreement which terminated the May 31, 1977 Memorandum of Understanding and re-established the MRBC with full member status accorded to the Northwest Territories and Yukon.

	Mackenzie River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mackenzie and its tributaries drain 1,805,200 square kilometers.
		It freezes over in October and the ice on the river breaks up in May. During the winter months, sections of the river are used as an ice road.
		The divide between the Mackenzie basin and the basin of the Yukon River to the west forms the central portion of the boundary between Northwest Territories and the Yukon.

	Mackenzie Delta: sensitive to climate change and variability
		The rich biological diversity of the Mackenzie Delta region, with large populations of fish, fur-bearing mammals, caribou and waterfowl, is because of the complex interactions among the region's various components.
		The health of this population is partially controlled by the hydrological conditions in these two apparently unrelated portions of the delta region, as well as the conditions controlling the low-salinity freshwater plume required for migration through the coastal sections of the Beaufort Sea.
		The model showed that for periods when the highest-elevation lakes (one-third of all delta lakes) were not flooded by the Mackenzie River, water levels declined significantly faster under the hypothetical future climate conditions compared to present ones, with the lakes eventually disappearing in 10 years.

		Much of the Mackenzie valley is heavily forested and, where climate permits, its deep soil is well suited to agriculture.
		A plan to construct the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline from the Arctic Ocean to Alberta, which would have been the greatest construction project ever undertaken, was shelved in 1977 after a federal royal commission concluded that, though feasible, the project involved serious legal, political, and environmental problems.
		Peter Pond was possibly the first European to enter (1777) the Mackenzie drainage area, but Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the 19th-century Canadian explorer, was the first to descend (1789) the river to the Arctic Ocean.
