Abstract
 A GIS Model for Identifying a Variable Width Buffer Track: Water Resources Author(s): Mariano Mapili A GIS model for the identification of a Variable Width Buffer to protect surface water quality was successfully constructed. The model was based on the relationships between land use and water quality in the Lower Fraser River watersheds as determined through GIS and statistical analysis of intrinsic, physical and ecological factors contained in land use, soils, forest cover, TRIM, and fish habitat maps from government agencies.
