the Mill Creek watershed. Despite the expectation that there will be negligible effects of this activity on the_x000D_
stream ecosystems, there is a desire to proactively establish biomonitoring that will allow the detection of_x000D_
ecological change so that environmental protection and sustainability is ensured. This Engage Grant will create_x000D_
the foundation for identifying knowledge gaps and establishing an effective biomonitoring program in a small_x000D_
watershed (Mill Creek) that is under the influence of many different human activities, including groundwater_x000D_
extraction, aggregate extraction, and intensive land use. It will allow the key water users and managers,_x000D_
including Nestlé Waters Canada, to better share and interpret biomonitoring data by placing it in the context of_x000D_
cumulative effects at the watershed scale. This initial project will support the integration of historical and_x000D_
current biomonitoring data from different sources within a common framework to form the basis for_x000D_
establishing a more effective Regional Biomonitoring Program in the future., program purpose french : Nestlé Waters Canada operates a beverage bottling plant in Puslinch, Ontario, that extracts groundwater from_x000D_
