Interbasin Water Transfers and the Régimes of Three Northwestern Ontario Rivers

Runoff régimes of three northwestern Ontario river systems undergoing interbasin transfer of water were compared to the natural flow patterns of neighbouring rivers. Long‐term diversion effects can be identified by analysing the probability distributions of annual runoff, annual floods, and annual low flows, representing mean, maximum, and minimum flow conditions of each year, respectively. Rivers exporting water have reduced annual flow and …
