EPCOR Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) and Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Intakes

EPCOR collects water quality data as part of the Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) to monitor the impacts of the stormwater on the North Saskatchewan River and urban tributaries (creeks). Water quality from the North Saskatchewan River is monitored as it flows through Edmonton using existing raw water intakes. Urban creeks are monitored for water quality near the City limits and as they enter the North Saskatchewan River using grab samples. EPCOR’s two water treatment plants (E.L. Smith and Rossdale) also regularly monitor water quality in water taken from the North Saskatchewan River to characterize raw drinking water prior to treatment. Raw water is collected from the river mid-channel and is representative of water quality in the North Saskatchewan River.

Milk River Watershed Council Canada Water Quality Monitoring

Surface water quality monitoring is critical in determining if water quality is meeting the needs of the aquatic environment and requirements for human and livestock use. Water monitoring is also a critical component in watershed management and often is an accurate indicator of adjacent land use and management. The program measures water quality in three main parameters:
- Physical (e.g., dissolved oxygen, water temperature and total suspended solids) 
- Chemical (e.g., nutrients, metals, pesticides) 
- Biological (e.g., bacteria) 
The MRWCC has partnered with Alberta Environment and Parks, and the Counties of Warner, Cardston, and Cypress to conduct a water monitoring program on the Milk River and its tributaries since 2006.
Sampling starts in April and completed October each year. Long term monitoring is essential as data is analyzed to detect changes or trends in water sample results. In the event that the findings of the water quality fall below the established guidelines because of human activities, the MRWCC works to implement reasonable and practical measures to improve the instream water quality.
The full summary of baseline water quality sampling is reported in the 2nd Edition Milk River Transboundary State of the Watershed Report and can be accessed at: www.mrwcc.ca

Provincial Water Quality Monitoring Network (PWQMN)

The Provincial (Stream) Water Quality Monitoring Network (PWQMN) measures water quality in rivers and streams across Ontario.Over 400 locations are currently monitored in partnership with Ontario's Conservation Authorities, participating municipalities and provincial parks.Partners collect water samples on an approximately monthly basis and deliver them to the Ministry's laboratory where they are analyzed for a suite of water quality indicators. The program has been operating since 1964 providing a valuable database for tracking changes in water quality over time. More recently, special studies have been implemented in agricultural and urban watersheds to collect additional information in support of source protection planning and nutrient, road salts and pesticides management.
