Oceanographic data from sensor strings deployed in Antigonish County as part of the Centre for Marine Applied Research's (CMAR) Coastal Monitoring Program.

Oceanographic data from sensor strings deployed in Annapolis County as part of the Centre for Marine Applied Research's (CMAR) Coastal Monitoring Program.

Wetland vegetation is strongly related to water level and nutrient availability. These variables can be influenced by many stressors including, acid deposition, long-range transport of air pollutants and climate change. Monitoring vegtation in wetlands will help us better understand changes...

A shapefile of the Nova Scotia Automated Surface Water Quality Monitoring Network monitoring stations. The network was established in 2002 to assess near real-time water quality in surface waters across the province at five river stations and one lake station. The results are used to help manage...

A shapefile of freshwater water bodies hat have been sampled as part of the Nova Scotia Lake Survey. The Nova Scotia Lake Survey program is a partnership initiative between Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) and Nova Scotia Fisheries and Aquaculture (NSDFA) to inventory lakes throughout the province...

Locations of sampling stations for sensor strings deployed as part of the Centre for Marine Applied Research's (CMAR) Coastal Monitoring Program. Sensor strings record high-resolution temperature, dissolved oxygen, and intermittent salinity data at various depths, typically for several months....

The B.C. copper water quality guideline (WQG) for the protection of aquatic life was updated in 2019 and now uses a biotic ligand model (BLM) to account for site specific toxicity modifying factors such as pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and hardness. The B.C. copper BLM software, available on...

Height of Gauge (Stage): The height of the water above a set reference level measured in metres (m). The river stage is related to discharge but not equivalent and more information (i.e. a ratings curve) is required to calculate discharge from river stage. Discharge: The amount of water flowing...

The park monitors water quality of streams and ponds (lakes) on a triennial cycle, reporting on total organic carbon, acidity, phosphorus, nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and Chlorophyll A. These metrics are compiled into a water quality index (WQI) that summarizes overall water quality.
