title: South Saskatchewan River Stewards Phosphorus Monitoring

description: To better understand phosphorous levels in Saskatchewan waterways, four Saskatchewan Watershed Stewardship Groups are collaborating to collect water samples from tributaries of the South and North Saskatchewan Rivers. This project will study how the tributaries contribute phosphorous to these rivers and eventually the Lake Winnipeg Basin. The Carrot River Valley Watershed Association, the North Saskatchewan River Basin Council, the South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards, and the Swift Current Creek Watershed Stewards have been collecting water samples for the last two years from the tributaries of the Saskatchewan River. These samples are then sent to a laboratory to be tested for phosphorous levels. This project has been funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada through the Lake Winnipeg Basin Program.

title: Carrot River Watershed Association Monitoring Program

description: The Carrot River Valley Watershed Community-based Water Monitoring project, funded by the Winnipeg Program Funding, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and EcoAction Community Fund.  Samples collected from Wakaw Lake, Gronlid, Armley, Pasquia, and Smoky Burn were sent for laboratory analysis.
description: A one-liter water sample was collected from the Carrot River at the following locations: Wakaw Lake, Gronlid, Armley, Pasquia, and Smoky Burn throughout the spring and summer.  Samples were then sent to the lab for analysis. The lab testing was through Roy Romanow Provincial Lab, in Regina SK and the Ministry of Agriculture in Tisdale SK. Primary focus on the water monitoring project was to test for Phosphorus levels in the lakes and streams.  The reason we are testing for phosphorus in lakes is because too much phosphorus can speed up the eutrophication process.  Eutrophication is when a water body has too many nutrients in it and not enough oxygen resulting in algae blooms which will then harm the aquatic life in the body of water.

title: Pine Lake Water Quality Monitoring Data

description: Pine Lake is one of the main attractions for visitors of Wood Buffalo National Park. It has been consistently monitored every summer since 2005 by using portable water quality sensors and samples that are processed and analyzed the next day. The long-term goal of monitoring is to collect baseline data for ensuring the health of the lake and to ensure the water meets recreational standards. Monitoring provides necessary information, ensures visitor safety, and will allow us to observe any trends in the quality of the lake.
description: Once a month during the ice-free season, resource conservation staff canoe to 10 different sites in Pine Lake and Kettle Basin and collect 100mL water samples. A Colilert reagent is added to each sample and they are placed in an oven for 24-48 hours. The results of these samples will tell us the level of E Coli and total Coliforms present at each site and will help to determine if the basins are safe for swimming. A YSI multi-meter is used at 3 of the deepest locations within the basins to determine the temperature, pH levels, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity. Measurements are taken every 5 metres down to 20 metres deep. A Secchi-disk is used at each deep-site location to determine the turbidity of the water.
