title: Sunshine Coast Streamkeepers Temperature Logger Data

description: The Sunshine Coast Streamkeepers Society initiated the “Climate Change and Salmonid: Recording Creek Water/Air Temperatures” in 2021. The purpose of this project is to continually monitor the temperatures of the salmon bearing creeks on the Sunshine Coast. As we experience more and more unprecedented weather events, mainly the longer, dryer and hotter summers leading to record drought conditions, we will have the historical data to compare the creek’s water temperatures at one-hour intervals from one year to the next. We believe the greatest threat to wild salmon and their habitat is climate change. We must be equipped with knowledge of what is happening in the field to find ways to mitigate the effects of these warmer conditions on the mortality of salmon.

title: Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group Water Quality Monitoring Data

description: The Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group Water Quality Monitoring project is designed to gather water quality baseline data and seasonal trends within the watershed. Water quality is collected using YSI probes, HOBO in-stream depth loggers (collects data in 15-minute intervals) and a flow probe at 6 locations throughout the watershed, and an additional 13 YSI only sites.
description: At all depth logger locations, depth and flow are taken at 10 points between left bank wetted width and right bank wetted width, using a metre stick and flow probe on a weekly basis. At these sampling locations, as well as an additional 13 YSI only sites, physio-chemical parameters are collected using YSI probes (temperature, pH, nitrates, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, salinity and conductivity). YSI only sites are not accessible for four months during the winter. At each depth logger site there are in-stream HOBO depth loggers attached to metal posts that collect depth and temperature data every 15 minutes. These loggers are removed every four to six months to download the data and are then immediately put back in the stream. There is also a HOBO deployed into Campbell’s Pond during the summer and fall months to gather dissolved oxygen data within the pond.
description: Outlier data was removed.

title: Fox Point Lake Water Quality Monitoring Dataset

description: The Fox Point Lake Water Quality Monitoring Committee was appointed by the Municipality of the District of Chester in
  2014, in response to ongoing concerns about the water quality of Fox Point Lake and the Aspotogan Ridge development
  project in Mill Cove, NS. Aspotogan Ridge will be a 550-acre family lifestyle community, with the construction of over
  500 residential units and an 18-hole golf course planned over the next several years. Residents of Fox Point Lake have
  documented several siltation run-off events in the lake during construction of the golf course, leading to concerns over
  the impacts of the development project on the health of Fox Point Lake and its drainage basin.

  The Water Quality Monitoring Committee was tasked with developing a Water Quality Monitoring Program to document the
  baseline water quality conditions of Fox Point Lake and track any changes in the health of the lake over the course of
  the development project. In 2015, Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation was contracted to develop this monitoring program,
  provide training and assistance to a group of volunteers, and to analyze and report on the water quality results of the
  initial monitoring period and subsequent years. Monitoring of the lake and its inlet and outlet streams has taken place
  from May to October of each year since 2015.

  This program is funded by the Municipality of the District of Chester and the Aspotogan Heritage Trust and supported by
  a dedicated group of volunteers.
description: A YSI probe (YSI Professional Plus) is used to collect in-situ data from 4 sample sites on a bi-weekly to monthly basis. In addition, water samples are collected monthly for analysis at an accredited laboratory. Stream discharge rates are monitored at the stream sites using a velocimeter, while Secchi disk depth and temperature/dissolved oxygen profiles are measured at the lake site. Daily observations of lake water level and precipitation amounts are recorded using a staff gauge and rainfall gauge, respectively. Monitoring equipment is calibrated and maintained by Coastal Action staff.

title: Resilient Waters - Dissolved Oxygen loggers

description: The Resilient Waters Project seeks to build community partnerships, identify field and restoration sites to facilitate improved water quality and fish passage throughout the Lower Fraser River.  Water quality data including water level, dissolved oxygen and temperature is collected through portable water quality loggers.
description: HOBO Model U26-001 Dissolved Oxygen loggers are used to take dissolved oxygen and temperature measurements. These monitors are calibrated in 100% air saturation prior to deployment. Sensors are replaced every 6 months. The DO loggers are strapped to, and deployed on a counter-weighted, Feddes trap which allows them to remain submerged approximately 50 cm from the stream bed.  They are left submerged, instream to record DO measurements over a 24 to 48 hour period. This logger utilizes optical sensor technology to provide high performance dissolved oxygen results with 0.2 mg/L accuracy.
For temperature monitoring, we use automated loggers that remain in-stream and record data at regular intervals throughout the year. HOBO Pendant MX220 loggers are deployed in stream and set to record water temperature every hour. When the data are downloaded from the loggers, a temperature reading is taken with a YSI and compared to the logger reading. We also use the HOBO U20L water level logger (which records water temperature as well as water level).

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

description: 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.
description: As part of the EMP, water quality samples from the North Saskatchewan River are collected from raw water intakes at four facilities located along the river. The intakes are located at E.L. Smith (0 km), Rossdale (17 km downstream), Suncor (31 km downstream) and Dow Chemical (61 km downstream). Grab samples are collected from locations at each facility that are as close to the river as is reasonably practical, and are representative of water quality in the river. Water quality samples from urban creeks are collected as grab samples by either lowering a sampling container from a bridge, or using an extended pole sample from the bank or culvert. In the field, samples are analyzed for field parameters using a multi-parameter water quality probe that is calibrated prior to each sampling event. Water quality samples are submitted to accredited laboratories and are analyzed for a variety of parameters.  Field splits and field blanks are regularly collected as part of an overall QA/QC program.

EPCOR’s two drinking water treatment plants (E.L. Smith and Rossdale) routinely analyze raw water quality samples from the North Saskatchewan River. Grab samples are collected from locations at each facility that are as close to the river as is reasonably practical, and are representative of water quality in the river. Water quality samples are either analyzed at on-site laboratories or are submitted to other accredited laboratories.

title: Ajax East and West storm sewers and Richmond Hill stormwater pond (Greater Toronto Area) water chemistry monitoring (2020-2022)

description: The data presented here are from just under two years of intensive sampling of stormwater in two sewersheds in Ajax and a stormwater pond in Richmond Hill. The sampled stormwater was then analyzed for a suite of chemistry parameters to give information about: the major anions, major cations, phosphorus (P) speciation (dissolved reactive P, total dissolved P, total P), dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, electrical conductivity, pH, nitrogen speciation (ammonium, nitrate, nitrite), total suspended solids, and road salt ions (sodium, chloride). This sampling was done in collaboration with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the City of Richmond Hill as part of a Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Strategic Partnerships Grant.
The other organizations that supported the collection of this data by supporting site set up and/or site access were: the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the City of Richmond Hill.
description: At each of the 4 main sampling sites (Ajax West, Ajax East, Richmond Hill pond inlet, Richmond Hill pond outlet), ISCO auto samplers were programmed to collect stormwater samples during rain events. At the additional sampling sites (e.g., the water columns of the focus pond and a nearby pond, the 2 Rouge River sites), 1 L grab samples were collected. From the ISCO bottles, selected bottles representing the range of flow during the event were analyzed for a suite of chemical parameters. The samples were filtered for analysis of dissolved constituents as soon as possible after the samples were collected. All analytical chemistry equipment were carefully calibrated using multiple calibration standards and each set of data from each instrument were evaluated for QC/QA before being reported as a final result. The analytical chemistry equipment used for the analyses were:
For major cations (including total dissolved phosphorus): Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) (Thermo Scientific iCAP 6300 with auto sampler)
For major anions (including chloride, nitrate, nitrite and sulfate): Capillary ion chromatograph (IC) system (Dionex ICS-5000)
For dissolved organic carbon and dissolved inorganic carbon: TOC analyzer (Shimadzu TOC-LCPH/CPN with auto injector)
For water isotopes: Picarro L2130-i Isotope (δ18O and δD for Isotopic H2O) and Gas Concentration Analyzer
For analysis of dissolved reactive phosphorus and ammonia/ammonium: Colourimetric methods (Thermo Scientific Gallery™ Discrete Analyzer)
For total phosphorus, calcium, manganese and iron: the persulfate digestion method of Dayton et al. (2017) was used followed by analysis of the digest by ICP-OES using matrix-matched calibration standards
Total suspended solids were analyzed by filtering around 100 mL of water samples onto Whatman GF/A filter paper (nominal pore size of 1.6 µm) and measuring the dry weight of the suspended material captured by the filter.
