The Fraser Basin is the geographical area drained by the Fraser River and its tributaries. It stretches from Mount Robson in the east to the Nechako River in the west, and from Bulkley House in the north to the Fraser Valley in the south, covering about 238,000 square km (the size of Great Britain). The Fraser River, flows for 1,370km from its headwaters near Mount Robson to the Fraser River delta.

The Fraser Basin Council is a not-for-profit, non-governmental, charitable organization, with a mandate to educate on the need for economic, environmental and social sustainability of the Fraser Basin. Though its projects, the Council encourages a good quality of life by helping decision-makers and residents make responsible decisions about how we live, work, and play in the Basin.

The Fraser Basin Council was established as a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization in 1997. The Council's predecessor, the Fraser Basin Management Board, was created by the federal, provincial and local governments to address sustainability issues and develop a strategic plan for the sustainability of the Fraser Basin. The Board created a draft Basin Plan, and circulated it for input.

The accomplishments of the Fraser Basin Council are extensive. In some cases, the Council has been able to facilitate significant progress in finding solutions to conflicts that reach back 30 or 50 years. The activities of the Council that have contributed to a more socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable Fraser Basin are detailed in the newsletters, Annual Reports and other reports released by the Council.

The Council is managed by a 36 member Board of Directors, including members from government, First Nations, and the private and non-profit sectors. The Board is supported by an Executive Director and staff located within the Basin's Vancouver and regional offices.

The Fraser Basin Council is not a government program; it is a not-for-profit, charitable organization consisting of a public/private sector partnership that includes four orders of government in its management structure. Like many other not-for-profit organizations, funding for the Council primarily comes from the federal, provincial, and local governments.

The Fraser Basin Council's funding initially came from federal, provincial, and local governments. Presently, the Council is working to become financially self-sustaining, aiming to have equal private and public support. The Council has recently acquired charitable status which has allowed the Council to put in place a fund-raising strategy to acquire funds from sources other than governments.

In response to D.1631, DWP prepared plans for both stream and waterfowl habitat restoration to undo the damage of 50 years of diversions. Revised plans were finally approved by the State Water Board in late 1998, following public debate and comment. Stream Restoration Plan: Stream restoration relies primarily on maintaining flows that mimic the pattern of former natural flows. Most important are peak flows in the spring runoff period.

Some terms and phrases used in the business of flood damage reduction seem to come into wide public use, often incorrectly. Detention basins temporarily store excess storm water, but have outlets for releasing it. Retention basins do not have outlets and the water is held them until it drains into the soil, evaporates or is pumped out.

The water discharged from the CTV-1500 is not clean enough to return to the basin as the only filter in the system is the in-line sediment filter. A filtering system is available to filter the discharge water down to 5 microns so it can be returned to the basin.

A catch basin is a curbside, box-like receptacle that drains water from the street gutter to the underground storm drain pipe to prevent street flooding. There are more than 20,000 catch basins on Oahu. Each is an entry point to the storm drain system.

The Amazon Basin is a community of people who share an interest in fair and respectful game play. The Amazon Basin arose around Diablo II and now consists of six independent guilds, each focusing on one game: Diablo II, Dark Age of Camelot, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Galaxies, Horizons and World of Warcraft. The community also has its General Forums that are not game-specific and can be found here. The Basin is entirely non-profit-driven.

A drainage basin, also often referred to as a catchment area or watershed, is the surface area which drains to a lake or contributes to the flow at a particular point in a stream or river.

There is a simple rule of thumb regarding the basin's size-the basin's width should be equal to or greater than the height of the fountain .This wil minimize splash and loss of water due to wind drift.

Occasionally, the Fraser Basin Council engages in projects outside of the boundaries of the Fraser Basin. There are two reasons that this might occur. First, because the plume of the Fraser River extends into Howe Sound, the activities in the Basin are closely linked to sustainability issues in the Squamish/Pemberton area, just outside of the Basin boundaries. For this reason, the Council may occasionally be requested to be engaged in projects in this area.

The headwaters of the Fraser River, where the river begins, is in Mount Robson Provincial Park in the Rocky Mountains near the Alberta border.

While there are no dams on the main stem of the Fraser River, some of the River's tributaries have been dammed. In particular, the Stave River, the Nechako River, and the Bridge River have been dammed primarily for the generation of hydroelectricity. In addition, much smaller dams can be found on smaller waterways throughout the Basin which serve various purposes such as irrigation for farmers.

FMC has more than 500 lawyers and national strength within six offices in key business centres across Canada, as well as an office in New York City.

For more than 165 years, FMC has distinguished itself as one of Canadaâ??s leading full service business law firms. The firm has grown both organically and through mergers, the most notable being the 1998 merger between Fraser & Beatty and Calgary-based Milner Fenerty, a firm founded in 1912, to form Fraser Milner and its subsequent merger with Montreal-based Byers Casgrain in 2000 to form Fraser Milner Casgrain.

Estimates of amounts of methane gas in the Powder River Basin vary and are often re-calculated. There are several methods to estimate the amount of recoverable gas from a coal seam, all having varying degrees of accuracy. According to the U. S. Geological Survey (2001), the amount of recoverable CBM in the Powder River Basin ranges from 8.24 - 22.42 TCF. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (2002) estimates 31.8 TCF of recoverable CBM in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming alone.

Christmas trees come in a lot of varieties: Scotch pine, Colorado spruce, Douglas fir, Fraser fir to name a few. In the eastern part of the country Fraser firs are replacing pines in popularity. The needles are soft and dark green with a distinctive silvery underside. The trees have a naturally elegant shape which is enhanced by shearing. Fraser firs are native to the Carolina mountains.
