Abstract

ABSTRACT Lake Athabasca (7780 km2) in Alberta, Canada, is an important hydrological feature in the Mackenzie River system with unique reversing flow channels and biologically-rich deltas. A task force was formed in 1971 to study Lake Athabasca, the Peace—Athabasca delta, and the downstream effects of Bennett Dam operation since 1968. The hydrology and water management of Lake Athabasca are discussed, dendrochronology, meteorology, water quality and sedimentation are considered, regulated and non-regulated lake levels are simulated, and proposals for control works are described.
