title: CIMP 210: Development of a Biological Monitoring Program to Detect Change in Stream Health Along the Dempster–Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk-Corridor

description: The objective of this project is to establish stream biomonitoring program along the DITC to study the effects of road development on stream ecosystem health. We used the Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) protocol (e.g., using macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of environmental condition), collect water quality measurements along the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway and Dempster Highway north of Tsiigehtchic. The results of this project will produce important information on the severity of ecological impacts in streams associated with road development in the Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA) and Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) that can be used by resource boards to develop management plans protecting aquatic habitat and ecosystem services. This project was funded by the Cumulative Impacts Monitoring Program (Project CIMP#210) and reflects a collaboration between researchers at Wilfrid Laurier University and Environment and Climate Change Canada.

title: Wolastoq (Saint John River) Community-Based Temperature Monitoring Data

description: Monitoring locations were selected based on filling spatial gaps in the existing temperature monitoring network, by selecting a range of stream size and temperature classifications using the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Freshwater Stream Classifications, and in consultation with local community groups.  The data will be useful for thermal modelling, fish habitat assessment, evaluation of diurnal (i.e. daily) fluctuations, comparison to guidelines for aquatic species, and many other anticipated uses.  Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) provided data logger equipment on long-term loan as well as technical advice on proposed monitoring locations, data logger setup, and deployment techniques.  Atlantic Water Network (AWN) provided coordination and advice to community groups on the data uploading procedure for Atlantic DataStream.  Community groups provided staff and volunteers to deploy and maintain the data loggers, to download the data, and to upload the data to Atlantic DataStream.
description: In-situ temperature data loggers are deployed and are used to collect temperature data on an hourly basis for most sites. Data are downloaded on a regular basis (e.g. monthly) by community groups using a field laptop or with a smartphone using Bluetooth technology.  A macro developed by Atlantic Water Network allows the raw data logger files to be converted to Atlantic DataStream format and uploaded by community groups collecting the data.  A document outlining data logger set-up and deployment techniques was developed to ensure consistency.

title: CIMP 216: Hydrocarbon-derived compounds (anthropogenic and natural) in water bodies in the Sahtu. NWT-Wide Community based Water Quality Monitoring Program

description: Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are a geographically widespread group of hydrocarbon chemicals, present in the environment as complex mixtures. During the past 25 years, levels of PACs in some northern ecosystems have been increasing, particularly in water, sediments, and lower trophic level organisms. However, relatively little information is publicly available to evaluate PACs in aquatic systems in the Sahtú Settlement Area. To help fill this knowledge gap, this project has two purposes: (i) to evaluate levels, composition, and potential biological impacts of PACs in water bodies in the Northwest Territories and (ii) to help make associated data more accessible to Indigenous communities, as well as to regulators who make decisions about water permits. SPMDs were deployed for approximately a month at a time in waterbodies in the Sahtú Settlement Area.
description: We used SPMDs to measure polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) in the water. These SPMDs were deployed for approximately a month at a time. SPMDs were sent to the Biogeochemical Analytical Service Laboratory at the University of Alberta to determine PAC levels.

title: Ducks Unlimited Canada Sustainable forestry initiative wetland road crossing water quality dataset

description: The study objective was to test the effectiveness of proposed best management practices used in wetland road crossings to maintain the natural hydrological regime of boreal wetlands. Study locations included various sites in the Duck and Porcupine Mountains in Manitoba and the Pasquia Hills in Saskatchewan. Water quality samples were taken at all sites as part of this project.
description: Water quality samples were collected from groundwater wells upstream and downstream of road crossings that were built across the center of boreal wetlands. Groundwater wells were first emptied by pumping out the water with an electric pump. Groundwater wells were left for 10 minutes to refill. Water was then sampled via a peristaltic pump.
description: No data processing/cleaning was undertaken to this dataset.

title: River Guardians Water Quality Monitoring Program

description: 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. See past report cards here: https://www.annapolisriver.ca/annapolis-river-guardians.
description: A YSI probe (EXO2 Multiparameter Sonde) is used to collect data on physio-chemical parameters at all sampling locations (n=8).  To assess additional parameters such as E.coli levels, a 100ml grab sample of water is collected from each location and sent for laboratory analysis. Additional water samples are taken and processed through a LaMottee 2020wi turbidity meter, to determine turbidity levels at each of the sites. The YSI is calibrated monthly, along with the turbidimeter being calibrated before each sample is processed (once a sample day).

title: RBC Future Launch Water Quality Monitoring

description: Ducks Unlimited Canada’s (DUC) mission is to conserve, restore, and manage wetlands to benefit waterfowl, wildlife, and people. DUC has restored and secured over 45,000 acres of habitat in Nova Scotia (NS) through restoration, conservation, research, and education. This project was to assess the health and biodiversity of 5 rural community wetlands, as well as 1 urban community wetland all located in NS. Since 2003, DUC has been conducting wetland field trips for Grade 4 students at several wetlands in NS. Each year DUC employs 1-2 youth to assist with the delivery of this program and over time we have noticed changes in the biodiversity and potentially the water quality of these wetlands. Therefore, the goal of this project was to assess the health of these wetland sites during the Grade 4 wetland field trips, as well as other times throughout the summer months.
