Lower Saskatchewan - Nelson River Basin Long-term Water Quality Monitoring Data
DataStream
— 2019-04-30 Long-term freshwater quality monitoring data for sites in the Lower Saskatchewan and Nelson River basins for the past 15 years or longer for nutrients, metals, major ions, and other physical-chemical variables are included in this dataset. Monitoring is conducted by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to assess water quality status and long-term trends, detect emerging issues, establish water quality guidelines and track the effectiveness of remedial measures and regulatory decisions. The information informs the Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative and supports activities of the Prairie Provinces Water Board (PPWB).

River Guardians Water Quality Monitoring Program
DataStream
— 2020-01-17 The Annapolis River Guardian volunteers began collecting water quality data in the Annapolis River watershed in 1992. The Clean Annapolis River Project (CARP) initiated the program as a public awareness project, and has had numerous volunteers collecting samples over the years. It is one of the longest running and most extensive volunteer based water quality programs in Eastern Canada. It is also CARP’s longest running project. At least 100 volunteers from the Annapolis Valley community have participated in the program over the years, and over 4,000 water samples have been collected and analyzed. The program was initiated in the early 1990’s by Dr. Graham Daborn and Dr. Mike Brylinsky of the Acadia Centre for Estuarine Research (ACER). Many groups were involved in the planning process for the program, including staff from the Nova Scotia Department of Health, the Nova Scotia Department of Environment, Nova Scotia Community College, and CARP. Some modifications have been made over the years, but the core has remained the same. Since the early 90’s, 8 sites have been actively monitored. Sampling occurs from late spring to late fall, biweekly. Water quality data is collected through a water quality instrument, otherwise known as a YSI, and grab samples are sent for laboratory analysis to determine E.coli levels in the River. The information is then analyzed by CARP staff with this historical data, which is then later produced into a report card looking at water quality status and trends in the watershed over time.

Petitcodiac Watershed Water Temperature Monitoring
DataStream
— 2021-09-24 The Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance has been monitoring water temperature in the lower Petitcodiac River subwatershed since 2018, to better understand the temperature fluctuation in urban streams. The program began with 20 HOBO TidbiT v2 temperature loggers installed to (n=20) pre-determined sites in the urban watershed. This survey method was set to collect temperature readings every hour, for several months, at multiple points in the watershed. Temperatures were looked at based on a predetermined suitability for aquatic health per the same guidelines which we use for monitoring and evaluating at our monthly monitoring sites. This method helps the PWA identify the potential locations of thermal refuges within our watershed, and urban freshwater habitats at risk of rising water temperatures. This program would not be possible without our key funders, the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund, and other important funders such as the Government of Canada and RBC. https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/

CIMP 193: Understanding changes in aquatic ecosystem health and water quality in the Fort Good Hope, Ramparts Area
DataStream
— 2018-01-30 Over the short term (3 years), our project aims to build community partnerships, identify field sites, and develop and implement sampling protocols for long term, community-based, monitoring of wetland ecosystems near Fort Good Hope. We expect initial data from this area (i) will reveal that environmental change as a result of anthropogenic activities is underway, (ii) will help establish “baseline” wetland conditions, and (iii) will increase knowledge of the complex relationships between landscape-level environmental change and wetland characteristics - findings that will be critical for identifying changes in protocol that will strengthen future research and long-term monitoring of aquatic health in the Sahtú. After completion of CIMP funding, our longer-term objective will focus on continued building of community partnerships to understand and provide information on changes in freshwater ecosystems related to the cumulative impacts of anthropogenic and natural environmental stressors in this priority geographic area. https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/

CIMP 161_Legacy arsenic pollution in Yellowknife Bay sediments
DataStream
— 2020-07-10 The main objective of this project was to evaluate the long-term stability of arsenic contamination from gold mining in sediments of Yellowknife Bay (Great Slave Lake) and the potential for long-term change in arsenic diffusion from sediments to overlying water with climate warming. A multi-disciplinary study was conducted involving field measurements, laboratory experiments, and modelling. As part of the field program, water column profiles of inorganic arsenic, temperature and specific conductivity were measured in Yellowknife Bay to examine to examine the vertical distribution of surface water arsenic. https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/

Toews Environmental Water Quality Monitoring Program
DataStream
— 2020-11-15 On behalf of the Rural Municipality of Yellowhead, Toews Environmental Ltd. led studies on Shoal Lake, Manitoba, to inform development of a lake water level management plan and possible future initiatives to improve water quality in the lake. The water quality study comprised collection of water samples and in situ measurements from four locations on the lake in March, June, July, August and October 2018. Laboratory analyses focused on nutrients and related parameters including metals and phytoplankton taxonomy. Measurements from near the lake bottom at the deepest site will allow assessment of internal phosphorus loading. https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/

Kawartha Region Conservation Authority Kawartha Water Watch Data
DataStream
— 2021-05-31 Kawartha Water Watch was established in the summer of 1997, the KWW water quality program was implemented to monitor and improve the health of the Kawartha watershed. Using data collected from the program, we can develop appropriate remedial measures that can be undertaken by the public to improve the ecosystem health. This program is designed to provide information on the water quality status of our aquatic resources accomplished through the combination of information from our own sampling efforts and from Provincial agencies, KWW allows for the identification of good, satisfactory and poor water quality. Water quality, for the purposes of KWW, applies mainly to Phosphate and Nitrogen concentration, coliform presence, pH, alkalinity, water clarity, and turbidity, as sampled by volunteers of the program. KWW is a program that relies almost entirely on the watershed community to monitor the water quality of our lakes and rivers. Volunteers sample water from their respective water bodies on a monthly basis, sending the results to Kawartha Conservation where they are organized, analyzed, and reported on. https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/

Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network
DataStream
— 2019-03-13 The Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWCBMN) is a growing network that engages citizen volunteers to collect water samples across Manitoba using scientifically vetted protocols. Samples are then analyzed in a lab to measure phosphorus concentration and calculate the amount of phosphorus begin exported off our landscapes. While Lake Winnipeg receives its water from a vast watershed, not all areas of the watershed contribute equal amounts of phosphorus. By sampling frequently at many sites, LWCBMN is able to pinpoint phosphorus hotspots – areas that contribute a disproportionate amount of phosphorus to Lake Winnipeg. Snow melts, floods and heavy rainfall events are responsible for most of the phosphorus that is flushed from the land into our waterways. Special care is taken by network staff and volunteers to ensure phosphorus runoff is captured during these high-water events. And, because these volunteers live, work or commute near their sampling sites, LWCBMN can quickly mobilize citizen scientists to collect samples when it matters most. https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1-0/
