Columbia Basin and the Columbia River Treaty: Canadian Perspectives in the 1990s

“The main purpose of this paper is to identify the current issues within the Columbia Basin from a Canadian perspective. The paper analyzes the effect of the Columbia River Treaty and the Boundary Waters Treaty on the management of the waters of the Basin. A particular concern is to investigate the extent to which either treaty facilitates or constrains the use of Canadian storage reservoirs to manipulate river flows for salmon migration in the lower Columbia. Responding to a particular question posed in the terms of reference for this paper, the final part of the paper investigates possible linkages between Columbia River Treaty issues and the Pacific Salmon Treaty (PST).” Abstract taken from Introduction.
