In the context of climate change, the management of water releases downstream of reservoirs to maintain**environmental flows is becoming more complex and better tools are required for forecasting and**decision-making. This proposal aims at acquiring new knowledge and developing/improving tools for reservoir**management in the context of climate change, in order to mitigate the impacts of potential increased water**temperature on fish. The approach is based on three sub-components: 1) Improve and adapt hydrological,**hydraulic and water temperature models to the context of reservoir management. 2) Acquiring new key**knowledge on the physiology and temperature requirements of three important fish species that are present in**the Nechako system, where this study is taking place. 3) Use climate change scenarios to anticipate potential**changes that may be required in the management of reservoir water releases. The benefits for the Canadian**industry include insights that will be gained from a first multi-species study of water temperature requirements**in an important managed watershed in Western Canada, improved modelling tools for flow and water**temperature management and training of highly qualified personnel with cross-disciplinary experience.

在气候变化的背景下，管理水库下游的放水以保持环境流动变得越来越复杂，需要更好的预测和决策工具。本提案旨在获取气候变化背景下水库管理的新知识和开发/改进工具，以减轻潜在水温升高对鱼类的影响。该方法主要包括三个组成部分：1)改进和适应水文、水力和水温模型以适应水库管理的环境。2)获得关于本研究所在Nechako系统中存在的三种重要鱼类生理和温度需求的新关键知识。3)利用气候变化情景来预测水库放水管理中可能需要的潜在变化。对加拿大工业的好处包括：在加拿大西部一个重要的管理流域进行的首次多物种水温要求研究将获得见解；改进流量和水温管理的建模工具；培训具有跨学科经验的高素质人才。
