The map shows the locations of water quality network stations operated by the federal Water Quality Branch, Department of Fisheries and the Environment, and the provincial Water Quality Branches of Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. The federal and provincial monitoring...

The map shows the concentration (annual load) of suspended sediments into rivers (in milligrams per litre). The load of sediment is lower in the Canadian Shield area and on the Arctic Islands. The greatest loads appear in the Prairie Provinces and in the Cordillera. The map also shows histograms...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada’s performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The data collection contains datasets that track water quality within Canada. The Water quality in Canadian rivers indicators...

Surface freshwater quality monitoring in the Fraser River Basin is carried out under the Canada-British Columbia Water Quality Monitoring Agreement. Monitoring is conducted to assess water quality status and long-term trends, detect emerging issues, establish water quality guidelines and track...

The recent (2017) spatial patterns of zooplankton communities in 73 Québec lakes distributed over an 800-km SW-NE gradient, spanning a wide range of water quality and climate. Results were published in a scientific article that can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfas-2020-0139

Verified and validated SPMD data are available on experimental research data to ascertain whether low concentrations of PACs can be more accurately detected using semi-permeable membrane devices than with water grab samples. Data are available from spring 2012 through winter 2014/15 from sites...
