This study examined the toxicity effects of groundwater collected from areas with influence from natural bitumen sources (far-field), as well as samples collected from areas with influence from industrial bitumen sources (near-field). A novel method for extraction and fractionation of dissolved...

Temporary Protection Orders (TPOs) are ministerial orders implemented in times of water scarcity and/or drought to protect streamflow availability. TPOs were implemented under Section 9 of the Fish Protection Act prior to 2016, but are now implemented under Section 86, 87 and 88 of the Water...

Water samples were collected in two headwater stream catchments (Nissouri Creek, Cedar Creek) of the Thames River 2017-2019 to help characterize the contribution of groundwater seepage to water quality. Groundwater wells and surface streams were sampled over the course of the study. The...

As part of a study to characterize the habitat of Canada’s only known population of Hine’s emerald dragonfly (HED), a species listed as endangered since 2011, groundwater was collected and analyzed from the eastern Minesing Wetlands near Barrie, Ontario. The water quality analyses included...

In 2012 samples of raw influent and final effluent wastewater from five municipal wastewater treatment plants at various locations in Canada (sites to remain anonymous, designated in this data file as MH, OX, Q, TB, U). Also, leachate was collected from three landfill sites (sites to remain...

In 2016-2019 water samples were collected at Lake of the Woods as part of a research program to determine sources and fate of nutrients in nearshore areas. These included samples of lake water, groundwater, streams, and septic wastewater. The samples were analyzed for nutrients (total and...

Groundwater wells were installed in the Turkey Lakes Watershed basin in the early 1980’s. These test wells were installed in eight sub-basins of the watershed and range in depth from 0.5 to 9.7 metres. They are located on a variety of terrain throughout. The water chemistry has been sampled at...

In the hydrogeological unit, quantity of water that replenishes groundwater beneath the water table, expressed in mm/yr. Recharge is usually calculated using hydrology balance, integrating information from precipitation, hydrology data, drainage, soil properties, evapotranspiration, etc. The...

Water composition is defined by measuring the amounts of its various constituents; these are often expressed as milligrams of substance per litre of water (mg/L). Sampling methods vary according to the types of analysis. Dataset point: The dataset represents a general description of the sample,...

Level below which soil or rock is saturated with water, in the well and at the time the level has been measured, expressed in m above the sea level. Groundwater depth is measured on the field, using a water level meters. The depth is then subtracted from the elevation of the measurement site to...
