The Hydrology of Labrador

The primary objective of this study was to characterize the hydrology of Labrador. This information is critical for the preliminary planning and design of water resources systems such as water supply systems for municipal and industrial uses, and hydroelectric power developments. The information is also needed for the design of hydraulic structures such as dams, bridges and culverts, and also for the general management of the water resources of this area of the province.
