== Hydroelectricity ==
A 49 megawatt [[run-of-river]] hydro installation below the canyon went online December 2009. A diversion weir 5&nbsp;km above the power house feeds water down a bored tunnel to the site. It is owned by [[Innergex Renewable Energy]] and is expected to produce 265,000 MWh annually.<ref>http://www.innergex.com/en/ashlu-creek</ref>
 
== Tributraries ==
 
Ashlu Creek’s only major tributary is Tatlow Creek, which flows northeast from remote Tatlow Lake and joins the Ashlu about 15.8&nbsp;km below its source. It does have several much smaller tributaries though:
