A Statistical Examination
Of British Columbia's Lakes

From Wildlife Review
Wakes are commonplace
in ‘British Columbla and
people wonder how many
there are, iand also how
large or deep they !nay be.
Surprisingly, fresh wat-

er covers only about two .

per cent of the total area
of the Province. In comp-
arison with other Canadian
rovinces, British Columbia

inland water in the form of
lakes. For example, Manito-
ba, appreciabl: smaller
than British ‘Columbia, has
over 15 per cent of its sur-
face covered with fresh

farge lakes always deep.
Lake

ing at an elevation of 4,
816 fect and 45 miles north
of Vancouver, is less than
4 miles long, but 849 feet
deep. Yet Kotcho Lake in
the northeastern corner of
the Province has a surface
area in excess of 30 square
miles but a maximum depth
of 10 feet.
The bottoms of

lakes near the coast may
drop well below séa-levei.
Owikeno Lake at the head
of Rivers Inlet has been de-
scribed as “a fiord whose
sill happens to be a: little
too high to maintain a con-
nection with salt water.” Its
surface elevation is less

than 50 feet but its maxi--

mum depth is 1,330. feet.
Therefore, most of the lake
volume is below sea-level.
At Nitinat Lake on the
west coast of Vancouver Is-.
land salt water can flush
over the shallow sill form-
ed by the short Nitinat Ri-,
ver, This brings Jelly- fish,
crabs, shrimps and other
forms of marine life into,
the lake,

During most of the

. year.a thin layer of re-

top of the salt water,-par-
lauvely fresh water hes on
ticularly at the upper end
of the lake.

Recently it has been
discovered that Powell
Lake, near’ Powell River,
has its lower layers filled
with old - sea water al-
though its upper 600 feet is
fresh and contains the us-
ual assortment of fresh-

water plankton and fishes. °

Abaut 10,000: years ago the
land around Georgia Strait,
responding to the huge
weight of the retreating ice
sheet, was submerged to at
least the present 170-con-
tour,

Sea water entering the
Powell Lake valley at that
time was. much less salty
than at present because it
was diluted with vast am-

- ounts of melt water from

the receding glaciers. -
Thus the water at the
bottom of Powell Lake to-
day contains only 17 parts
pr thousand of salt, whereas
Georgia Strait water has
about 30 parts per thous-
and. When the ice sheet re-
treated, the land gradually
rose, and as Powell
was slowly cut off from
the ocean it probably pass-

ed through a stage similar .

to’ that of Nitinat Lake to:

lay.

Sakinaw Lake on ‘the
Sechelt Peninsula has’ a
depth’ of 460 feet, the low-
er 300° feet of which con-

sales practices differ great-
ly from those experienced
in North America.

“The very size potent-
jal orders provides tremen-
dous leverage for the Chin-

Mr. Spurr says. “It is n
uncommon for Pein
to stretch from six to 1
months, Many western bus-
inessmen who are in the ha-
bit of closing a ‘sale the
same day find it difficult
to understand the Chinese
approach to negotiations,”

The fair will brovide
opportunities for Canada to
increase trade with a coun-
try which has a population
in excess of 750 million.

countries a year to exhibit
their wares in Peking. Can-
