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 2011-2014 samples of groundwater and septic wastewater were sampled from various sites in Ontario, Canada. Most of the groundwater sites were impacted by septic wastewater plumes. The samples were analyzed for four artificial sweeteners (acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate, sucralose),...

In 2018 samples of raw influent and final effluent wastewater from twelve municipal wastewater treatment plants at various locations in Canada (sites to remain anonymous, designated in this data file as NW, J, C, SM, JL, TB, GA, PA, PN, E, V, H). The samples were analyzed for four artificial...

Increased flux of carbon and nutrients from human activities in river basins were linked to acidification and deepwater hypoxia in estuaries and coastal areas worldwide. Annual loads (1995–2011) of suspended particulate matter (SPM), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN) and total...

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...

The objectives of the present long‐term study, spanning a 45 year period, were to 1) investigate the temporal trends of total mercury (THg; muscle and liver) and selenium (Se; liver) in ringed seals (Pusa hispida) from different regions of the Canadian Arctic; and 2) examine possible...

In 2018 samples of raw influent and final effluent wastewater from fourteen municipal wastewater treatment plants at various locations in Canada were analyzed for priority alkyl aryl sulfonates (AAS) using the methods developed by Van Stempvoort and Brown (2018). The analyses included seven...

Continuous, year-round measurement of stream stage that is later converted to flow using a stage-discharge relationship occurs on at/near the lake outflows and 2 other stations along the principal watershed tributary, Norberg Creek. Measurements ended in 2016. Supplemental Information The Climate...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Land-use change indicator reports the proportion of agricultural land that has been converted to settlement and the...

The Turkey Lakes Watershed (TLW) is 1 of 5 hydrologically "calibrated" basins in eastern Canada that were originally devoted to process-oriented research into "acid rain" effects. They were selected to cover a wide range of climatic and hydrological conditions, deposition magnitudes, and terrain...
