	Fraser River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the city of Prince George it is joined by the Nechako River, then continues south and slightly east until just north of the United States border, where it issues from the Coast Mountains from a deep canyon a few hundred miles long.
		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.
		The delta of the river, especially in the Boundary Bay area, is an important stopover location for migrating shorebirds.

	Fraser River
		The Fraser River is the longest river of British Columbia in Canada, rising in the Rocky Mountains near Mount Robson[?] flowing for 1400 km (870 mi), and running into the Pacific Ocean at the city of Vancouver.
		At the town of Prince George it is joined by the Nechako River[?], then continues south and slightly east until just north of the United States border, passing through the Coast Mountains in a deep canyon.
		The river's volume at its mouth is 112 km³ each year, and it dumps 20 million tons of sediment into the Pacific.

		After years of research, fisheries scientists now suspect that Nechako River white sturgeon are not reproducing at all, or that reproduction is taking place so slowly that fish numbers are rapidly declining towards possible extinction.
		Young sturgeon have historically been observed in the Nechako River and the near-absence of young sturgeon is a relatively recent occurrence.
		Furthermore, recent comparisons of the DNA of Nechako River versus Fraser River white sturgeon have shown that the Nechako population is reproductively isolated from the Fraser populations.

	White Sturgeon of the Nechako
		In the case of the Nechako River, the development of the Kenney Dam in the late 1950s, and the subsequent alteration of the Nechako ’s flows, has likely had a negative effect on the sturgeon.
		The Nechako white sturgeon are different from the lower and mid Fraser River sturgeon populations.
		The Nechako population seems to be comprised largely of fish 30 to 50 years of age.

		The Nechako River in the Lakes Forest District once boasted one of the strongest salmon runs in British Columbia.
		Since the building of the Kenney Dam, stocks in the Nechako have been in decline, in part due to an insufficient and inconsistent amount of water released annually from the dam into the river.
		From the Cheslatta River Forest Service Site (about 68 miles/110 km south of Vanderhoof and Hwy 16 via the Holy-Cross Forest Rd) to the mouth of the Stuart is about 87 miles (140 km), the first mile (1.6 km) of which is on foot to the base of Cheslatta Falls.

	The Nechako is Still a Sick and Strangled River - Lane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When Alcan’s Kemano Completion Project on the Nechako River was at the beginning of 1995, the move was lauded by environmentalists as a huge step forward in protecting salmon and wildlife in the Nechako watershed.
		Four measures would greatly improve the health of the Nechako: a cold water release at Kenney Dam to improve water temperatures for returning salmon (the dam, incredibly, has no spillway); more water than the current 30 percent flow; a more natural monthly flow regime; and, finally, public control over managing waterflows in the future.
		If these issues are not resolved, the Nechako watershed council will be doomed to endless, tiring meetings with no improvement to the health of the river, while the real decisions are being made elsewhere.

		Once they are fertilized, the eggs become sticky and attach to the river bottom as soon as they come into contact with it.
		Adult fish tend to occur in deeper, faster waters of large river mainstems, where they spend most of their time on or near the bottom of the riverbed.
		Unfortunately, these studies have confirmed that the Nechako, upper Columbia and Kootenay populations are declining drastically as a result of recruitment failure.

		The Quaternary stratigraphy of the Nechako River — Cheslatta Lake area of central British Columbia is described and interpreted to reconstruct the late Quaternary history of the region.
		Subsequently, the easterly drainage was blocked either locally by sediments and ice or as a result of impoundment of the Fraser River and its tributaries east of the study area.
		Major late-glacial lakes developed in the Nechako River valley and the Knewstubb Lake region because potential drainage routes were blocked by ice.

	The White Sturgeon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Moreover, recent studies on population genetics have shown that the Nechako white sturgeon population is reproductively isolated from the more stable Fraser River populations, and radio-telemetry surveys have shown that white sturgeon movements between the lower Nechako River and Fraser River are fairly infrequent.
		The Nechako White Sturgeon Recovery Initiative's Recovery Team is ultimately responsible for identifying the factors that are limiting white sturgeon production and survivorship in the Nechako watershed and for the design and implementation of habitat protection, restoration and management options that will ensure that the population recovers to selfsustaining numbers.
		To sustain the Nechako white sturgeon population over the short term, and provide the time necessary for the population to respond to changes in watershed management, the Nechako White Sturgeon Recovery Initiative is working with population geneticists to develop an conservation aquaculture program.

	Freshwater Website: Floods (Reducing flood damage - Case Studies: Red, Assiniboine and Fraser Rivers)
		Subsequent to the Red River flood in 1950, a large scale structural approach was planned and implemented for protection against future flood damages by the Red and Assiniboine rivers.
		The purpose of the outlet structure is to dissipate the energy in the water at its point of re-entry to the Red River near Lockport, thereby preventing damage and erosion in the river.
		The river dykes completed under the Program have successfully withstood the 1972 freshet (which exceeded the levels of the 1964 and 1967) and the sea dykes have endured the record high sea levels of 1982.

		The Nechako Reservoir was created by the construction of the Kenney Dam in Nechako Canyon, a natural barrier to salmon migration.
		This additional diversion of Nechako River flow creates the potential of high water temperatures and increased thermal stress to migrating sockeye salmon enroute to their spawning grounds in Nechako River tributaries.
		Results of mathematical modeling of Nechako River water temperatures show that, based on specified design criteria, a maximum Kenney Dam release of 167 m{sup 3}/s at 10 C would be required to meet the downstream water temperature objectives.

		For decades, most of the water destined for the Nechako River has been redirected out of its watershed through a tunnel to the Alcan powerhouse on the Kemano River.
		Some water is diverted into the Nechako through the Murray and Cheslatta Rivers, but at the expense of severe erosion in those rivers.
		To be effective for fish protection and watershed restoration, the spillway must be capable of releasing waterflows that improve temperature and flows for resident fish and salmon stocks and that improve conditions for downstream water users.
