dc.description.abstractA changing climate in British Columbia is expected to have many important effects on watershed processes that in turn will affect values such as water quality, water supplies, slope stability, and terrestrial and aquatic habitats. In many parts of British Columbia, the effects of too much or too little water have already been observed and it is possible that an increased probability of droughts, floods, and landslides will result in considerable socio-economic, biological, and (or) physical changes in the future (Spittlehouse and Stewart 2004; Walker and Sydneysmith 2007). The influence of climate change on watershed processes is critically important to understand and to manage for now and in the future, as these functions directly determine human well-being in terms of public health, the economy, communities, and cultures.
