ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First I must thank Dr. G.G.E Scudder for enticing me into this challenging task and then my wife Heather for loaning me her total supply of dress-making pins required as an essential part of my primitive homemade Geographical Information System for production of Figure 3. Help in collecting data and its analysis came from a number of colleagues including Dana Atagi, Karen Bray, Don Cadden, Brian Chan, Albert Chirico, John Green, Jay Hammond, Brian Harris, Brian Jantz, Steve Mathews, Peter Mylechreest, David Smith, Colin Spence, David Tesch, Ian Walker, and Bill Westover. Brian Symons and Steve Rowe of the B.C. Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, Penticton kindly arranged 1998 GIS mapping of water storage dams in the Okanagan basin and provided other most useful information.
