Fish-Water Management Tools – Decision-Support System
The FWMT System is a coupled set of biophysical models of key relationships (among climate, water, fish, & property) used to predict the consequences of water mgt. decisions for fish & other water users.
The FWMT may be used to explore impacts of water-management decision in an operational mode employing real-timedata, a prospective-mode, or in a retrospective-mode using data from historic water supply, climate, & fish years.

Flood risk
Resident fish
Recreation
Anadromous salmon
Rule 1: Don’t fill Okanagan Lake above 342.56 meters (i.e. 10 cm rise above 342.56 incurs $5-$10 million in “property” losses!)
Rule 2: Try to avoid drafting to lake levels below 341.50 meters. (i.e. problems with docks, water intakes, & vessel navigation become severe).
Rule 3: Minimize draw-down of Okanagan L. between the time of kokanee spawning and 100% fry emergence (i.e. minimize dewatering kokanee eggs & fry, but don’t risk violation of “rules” 1, 6, 7, 8, & 9)
Rule 4: Minimize the number of buildings flooded at Penticton
Rule 5: Provide summer flows for recreation if possible
Rule 6: Sockeye Migration – maintain flows (@ Oliver) between 8.5 & 12.7 cms during Aug 1 to Sept 15 to allow “easy” passage of VDS.
Rule 7: Sockeye Spawning – maintain flows between 9.9-15.6 cms during Sept 16-Oct 31 to maximize “good” spawning habitat.
Rule 8: Sockeye Incubation- flows at 5.0- 28.3 cms during Nov 1-Feb 15, i.e. egg incubation flows greater than or equal to 50 % of spawning flows & must not exceed 28.3 cms to avoid redd desiccation & scouring.
Rule 9: Sockeye Fry emergence-migration flows during Feb 16-Apr 30 at 5.0-28.3 cms.

Okanagan-FWMT Results to Date
• Balances consideration of multiple objectives (i.e. social, economic, cultural, ecological)
• Recognizes inflow forecast uncertainties,• Uses “rich” information sources refreshed in real-time (i.e.
annual to daily imports of biophysical data),• Facilitates effective input from limited pool of expertise,• Provides record of annual strategy and outcomes to assess
performance against multiple objectives.• Since deployment in fall of 2004 Canadians have avoided
(a) major drought and desiccation or most flood and scour losses of fry production in the Okanagan river, and (b) most temperature-Oxygen induced losses of fry rearing in Osoyoos Lake.
