The Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance has been monitoring water temperature in the lower Petitcodiac River subwatershed since 2018, to better understand the temperature fluctuation in urban streams. The program began with 20 HOBO TidbiT v2 temperature loggers installed to (n=20) pre-determined sites in the urban watershed. This survey method was set to collect temperature readings every hour, for several months, at multiple points in the watershed. Temperatures were looked at based on a predetermined suitability for aquatic health per the same guidelines which we use for monitoring and evaluating at our monthly monitoring sites. This method helps the PWA identify the potential locations of thermal refuges within our watershed, and urban freshwater habitats at risk of rising water temperatures. This program would not be possible without our key funders, the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund, and other important funders such as the Government of Canada and RBC.

Temporal coverage: 2013-08-06/2023-12-02

The Oathill Lake Conservation Society is a group of concerned neighbours of Oathill Lake, a small urban lake in Dartmouth Nova Scotia.  It started when changes were noticed in the lake ecosystems, including increased fish stocking and fishing activities, loss of amphibian populations, and erosion of the lake shore.  A measurement program was started to provide baseline depth profiles of oxygen, temperature, salinity/conductivity and pH, and was followed by by-weekly (during open water periods) sampling to track the effects of a number of changes in the lake environment intended to correct the problems noted, as well as the impacts of natural and other man-made events and activities on the lake habitat.  Depth profiles are collected at 3 fixed locations in the lake, and, on a less-regular basis, at four of the more significant storm sewer drains into the lake.  Other data are collected from long-duration data loggers (e.g., temperature-depth profiles at the deepest part of the lake, and winter temperature and conductivity in the main in-flow channel) and physical samples collected for laboratory analysis of nutrients and minerals.

The Government of Manitoba’s Long Term Water Quality Monitoring Program supports the Department’s mandate to provide services to protect and maintain the quality of Manitoba’s aquatic ecosystems by developing and implementing coherent long term water quality monitoring programs and activities that are responsive to present and future needs, issues and pressures. Water quality data are collected through grab samples. These samples are sent for laboratory analysis where they can be analyzed for a suite of 120 water quality variables including general chemistry, nutrients, major ions, metals, pesticides and pharmaceuticals/estrogens. The four site locations presented here are only a small subset of the 65 site locations monitored through the program. These four site locations represent four major river systems that flow into Lake Winnipeg. Samples are collected monthly from each of these four sites, with the exception of the Dauphin River, which is collected quarterly. 

The data are used by the Government of Manitoba in a variety of ways to assess water quality conditions, through technical reports including trends, loads, and the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index, to name a few. The data are also used for water quality modelling and to inform policy decisions associated with Environment Act processes and Integrated Watershed Management Planning, to name a few. These data are also frequently requested and used externally by a number of stakeholders, consultants, academia and non-government organizations.
Qualité de l'eau du ruisseau Seven Persons, Water Quality of Seven Persons Creek

Keywords: Qualité de l'eau, bactéries, nutrients, bacteria, nutriments, Water quality, agriculture
Temporal coverage: 2018-04-04/2018-08-13

Water quality of Seven Persons Creek at two riparian restoration sites was assessed to provide baseline information, identify water quality issues, and for educational purposes. At the Saamis Archaeological Site (SAS), City of Medicine Hat, there were two water sampling locations, upstream and downstream, 1.25 km apart. A third location was adjacent to a private agricultural land 61 km upstream of the two SAS locations. The SAS is a recreational trail park and was used as an off-leash dog park at the time of the study. Upstream of the SAS are two riparian golf courses, and within SAS are two draws utilized for stormwater conveyance into the creek. Land use in the watershed is predominantly agriculture. Water samples were collected from the two SAS locations on 4 Apr, 20 Jun, and 8 Aug 2018, and field measurements were also taken on 4 Apr. The Private land location was sampled on 29 May, 16 Jul and 13 Aug 2018. Samples were sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results were compared with provincial guidelines for surface waters or literature. For all locations, key water quality issues in creek were bacteria and nutrients (nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)). Except for bacteria and pH, highest values of water quality variables occurred at the start of the snowmelt in Apr. At the SAS, there were differences in water quality between locations depending on the season and a number of variables. In terms of bacteria, the downstream location had better water quality than the upstream location throughout the season. The downstream location also had lower values for nitrate, total nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorus and total dissolved phosphorus at the start of the snowmelt. In contrast, based on total dissolved and suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chloride and oxidation-reduction potential, the upstream location was of better quality at the start of the snowmelt. By late summer, total N and total Kjeldahl N were lower at the upstream location.

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.

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.
