Surface water quality monitoring is critical in determining if water quality is meeting the needs of the aquatic environment and requirements for human and livestock use. Water monitoring is also a critical component in watershed management and often is an accurate indicator of adjacent land use and management. The program measures water quality in three main parameters:
- Physical (e.g., dissolved oxygen, water temperature and total suspended solids) 
- Chemical (e.g., nutrients, metals, pesticides) 
- Biological (e.g., bacteria) 
The MRWCC has partnered with Alberta Environment and Parks, and the Counties of Warner, Cardston, and Cypress to conduct a water monitoring program on the Milk River and its tributaries since 2006.
Sampling starts in April and completed October each year. Long term monitoring is essential as data is analyzed to detect changes or trends in water sample results. In the event that the findings of the water quality fall below the established guidelines because of human activities, the MRWCC works to implement reasonable and practical measures to improve the instream water quality.
The full summary of baseline water quality sampling is reported in the 2nd Edition Milk River Transboundary State of the Watershed Report and can be accessed at: www.mrwcc.ca

Global warming is causing large-scale transformations of the northern landscape. In particular, permafrost thaw has wide implications for northern ecosystems and the communities living in this transitioning landscape. As climate continues to warm, previously frozen soils may release carbon and nutrients to aquatic ecosystems. These environmental changes may push aquatic ecosystems beyond tipping points, so that the functions and services they provide to communities are at risk. This project is directly addressing concerns about changes in water quality expressed by community members in Fort Good Hope in the Sahtú Settlement Area. We used a YSI multiparametric sonde and 2L polycarbonate bottles for water sampling. Ultimately, the results from the project will help anticipate cumulative effects of climate warming and anthropogenic disturbances such as land-use on aquatic health.

Lac La Biche County’s lake water quality monitoring program is done every year at major publicly accessible lakes within the County. Lakes are chosen to be sampled based on their amounts of shoreline development and their status as major recreational attractions. Each lake’s water is sampled annually to monitor the quality of the water and to determine any trends. Lakes are sampled for various parameters using different techniques. Vertical profiles are taken using a multi-probe, composite samples are taken from 10 different locations in the lake, and discrete depth sampling is done with a Kemmerer sampling device. The composite samples and discrete depth samples are sent for laboratory analysis. This information is analyzed along with historical data to determine any trends in the water quality.

Temporal coverage: 2022-03-11/2022-12-13

Thornton Creek Enhancement Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to sustaining and building salmon stocks in Barkley Sound, as well as facilitating educational and research opportunities. The objective of the Thornton Creek Water Quality Monitoring Program is to create quality, long-term datasets that can be used for research and stewardship by building partnerships with other local organizations and indigenous governments. The rivers that we enhance and/or monitor support critical salmon populations and are susceptible to logging, pollution, mining and human impacts. This makes gathering baseline data on the quality of these watersheds very important. The program periodically collects physio-chemical parameters at 8 sites throughout 7 Rivers that feed into Barkley Sound.

This program is made possible thanks to the support in part from the Department of Fisheries and Ocean and the Pacific Salmon Foundation, as well as the partnership with Toquaht Nation, Ucluelet First Nation and Redd Fish Restoration. This project is funded by donations to the Thornton Creek Enhancement  Society.

Temporal coverage: 2014-07-07/2014-10-08

Historic and published water quality data for the Vermilion River basin are limited; the intent of this project was to start updating a 20-year-old water quality database. The selection of water quality variables was suitable to describe general instream water quality conditions and identify issues potentially related to human activities. Surveys were only carried out during very low flow conditions, and stagnant water was often encountered. It should be noted that sampling during periods of higher flow would likely yield different results. Seven sampling locations were selected along the Vermilion River at key locations in the basin. Sites were located downstream of major urban centres (Vegreville, Mannville and Vermilion), hydrological features (Vermilion Lakes and the Morecambe structure), at the boundaries of counties and at the mouth of the Vermilion River. Several of the water quality sampling sites corresponded to sites sampled historically (1995 to 1997) although sites V1 and V4 were newly established in 2014. Four of the seven sites were located at or near an active Water Survey of Canada (WSC) gauging station. Sites on Stretton Creek were chosen upstream and downstream of a reach where efforts to protect and enhance riparian health are ongoing. This project was intended to provide historical data to evaluate the influence of ongoing riparian protection measures on stream water quality. Three longitudinal surveys were carried out during July, August, and October in 2014 to document water quality at low flow. Sampling encompassed a broad range of physical, chemical, and biological measurements designed to describe general instream water quality conditions, identify issues potentially related to human activities (e.g., nutrient enrichment, bacterial and pesticide contamination) and identify reaches with possible groundwater input.

During the summer of 2014, the southern Northwest Territories (NWT) experienced an unprecedented fire season, with a burn fingerprint that spread across two ecoregions (the Taiga Plains and Taiga Shield), and a landscape that is underlain by mosaic of permafrost coverage, vegetation type, and previous fire history.  Our study was conducted across the Dehcho, Wek’èezhii, and Akaitcho Geographic Regions, which encompass the most significantly burned areas from the 2014 fire season.  Within these regions, we examined water quality across a series of 50 catchments that varied based on within-catchment fire extent, ecoregion (Taiga Plains vs. Taiga Shield), and within-catchment characteristics such as wetland extent. This sampling scheme – which covers as significant a range of landscape variability as possible – is allowing us to tease apart the effects of wildfire from other landscape variables that cumulatively impact aquatic ecosystem health. We find that the effects of wildfire on stream water chemistry are relatively weak when measured at stream outlets, but that these effects can teased apart from other, key landscape attributes with the use of multivariate analyses and a large sample size. However, we do find transient changes in water quality immediately post-fire, and changes in pore water chemistry and hydrologic parameters within catchments affected by wildfire. Future work should examine long term fire-induced changes within catchments, and focus on determining the effect of wildfire during years that are relatively wet.

Yellowknife Bay on Great Slave Lake is a water body of cultural, subsistence and recreational importance for the Yellowknives Dene First Nation and residents of Yellowknife. The ecosystem health of Yellowknife Bay has been impacted by historical mining releases of arsenic and metals, and contaminant loading to the bay from the closed Giant Mine continues today. Arsenic and metals were dispersed to the bay through atmospheric deposition of ore roaster emissions, as well as effluent and tailings releases at Giant Mine. Over several decades, considerable study has been conducted on arsenic and metal pollution in near- and far-field receiving environments of Yellowknife Bay. This three-year project aimed to enhance previous studies and investigate data gaps in order to obtain a more complete picture of the current environmental conditions in the bay. Multiple environmental components including water, sediment and the aquatic food chain were sampled to measure current levels of arsenic and metals, and to better understand the processes controlling their environmental fate. Project findings have been presented in several reports outlined below, and additional reports are being prepared to summarize the datasets. This project generated significant new information that will inform the management, assessment and use of the Yellowknife Bay ecosystem.
