GEOHAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT OF THE KLESILKWA DRAINAGE BASIN, 1993

The Klesilkwa valley trends approximately NW-SE adjacent to the Ross Lake Fault (Monger, 1989). The main valley is about 16 km long, and is occupied by the southeastward flowing Klesilkwa River which enters the Skagit River about 15 km north of Ross Lake.

The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, to try to predict the effects of slope
and river processes on wildlife habitats downstream to help in managing the
preservation of the wilderness and wildlife habitat values of the area.
Second, to advise on wise recreational and hydroelectric use and management of land, water, and
ecosystems on both sides of the international border.
