Mica Dam was built to provide 8.6 km 3 (7 million acre-feet) of water storage as outlined in the Columbia River Treaty, plus another 6.2 km 3 (5 million acre-feet), referred to as "non-Treaty storage". Since 1977, BC Hydro and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) have made a series of long and short term agreements for using non-Treaty ...
Data in the table above is given for water–steam equilibria at various temperatures over the entire temperature range at which liquid water can exist. Pressure of the equilibrium is given in the second column in kPa. The third column is the heat content of each gram of the liquid phase relative to water at 0 °C.
Ball Creek is a tributary of the Iskut River and part of the Stikine River watershed in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada. [1] From its source in the mountains south of Mount Edziza, near Yeda Peak, it flows generally southeast and east for roughly 41 km (25 mi) [4] to empty into the Iskut River, the largest tributary of the Stikine River.
Construction of the tunnel between Coquitlam Lake and Buntzen Lake began in 1902 and finished in 1905, supplying water to powerhouses on Indian Arm, which supplied electricity to Vancouver. [ 2 ] The first Coquitlam Dam , built to raise the water level by 5 feet (1.52 m), was begun in April 1904 and completed in 1905.
Hence, the BC Hydro and Power Authority Act merged BC Electric with another crown corporation, the BC Power Commission, into a newly formed BC Hydro which was co-chaired by Gordon Shrum of BC Electric and Hugh Keenleyside of BC Power Commission. [49] BC Hydro became responsible for the building of the dam, powerhouse and associated infrastructure.
The Scotia River is a tributary of the Skeena River in the North Coast Regional District of the province of British Columbia, Canada.It originates in the Kitimat Ranges of the Coast Mountains, and flows north about 22 km (14 mi) to the tidally-influenced lower Skeena River, [4] [6] about 20 km (12 mi) upriver from Port Essington, 47 km (29 mi) southeast of Prince Rupert, and about 75 km (47 mi ...
In 1887, the Capilano River was selected as the source of water supply for the City of Vancouver.An intake pipe was constructed 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) upstream of the mouth of the river, and a pipeline carried this water across the First Narrows of Burrard Inlet and into the City of Vancouver.
