Application of the NWT winter water withdrawal protocol with bathymetric profiles of select small lakes in the MacKenzie Delta region
Large volumes of water are required by industry in the Northwest Territories (NWT) to conduct activities such as hydrocarbon exploration and winter road construction. Fish living in small lakes are particularly sensitive in late winter due to limited oxygen supplies. These oxygen supplies can be further reduced to harmful levels through winter water withdrawals. In order to better assess the fish overwintering habitat potential of small lakes, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans - Western Arctic Area (DFO) requires industrial water users to submit volume estimates of potential water sources. These estimates are to be derived from bathymetric surveys conducted using the minimum standards outlined in the DFO's Protocol for Winter Water Withdrawal in the NWT. This report demonstrates the application of the protocol using an example of how the level of effort expended on bathymetric surveys directly affects the accuracy of the resulting lake volume estimates. Also presented are bathymetric data from 55 small lakes in the Mackenzie Delta and adjacent tundra areas, providing insight into the diversity of lake basin shapes in the area.

- "Fisheries & Oceans Canada has recognized that industrial withdrawal of water during winter from small lakes has the potential to cause negative impacts to overwintering fish & fish habitat, and has implemented a winter water withdrawal protocol to address these concerns. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate a practical application of the department's Protocol for Winter Water Withdrawal in the Northwest Territories. It briefly reviews the protocol and its water withdrawal thresholds, describes bathymetric survey methods used to profile northern lakes, presents bathymetric data for 55 lakes surveyed in the Mackenzie Delta region, most of which were selected for their connection to oil & gas related activities. The appendix contains a copy of the Protocol and bathymetric maps & volume estimates for the 55 lakes."@en
