Description

This report outlines how in the early 1980s, Alberta Environment established a formal water quality monitoring program at Wabamun Lake. The program was designed to determine long-term patterns in the overall water quality of the lake. It was not designed to evaluate the effects of specific activities (e.g., point and non-point source inputs) in the watershed.

Description

Several studies were initiated in 2002 to address concerns related to a fish kill and metal levels in sediments from Wabamun Lake. This study was conducted by Alberta Environment to determine the occurrence and temporal and spatial variability of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in treated water from the Wabamun Lake Water Treatment Plant (WL-WTP), at sites in the vicinity of the treated water discharge, and at other sites further away within the lake. This report provides the findings of the sampling program.

Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) is an important variable in the oxygen balance of rivers, in particular during the winter under low flow and extensive ice-cover. In 1989, a method to measure SOD... More ≫

Description

Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) is an important variable in the oxygen balance of rivers, in particular during the winter under low flow and extensive ice-cover. In 1989, a method to measure SOD in-situ was developed and used to measure winter SOD rates in the Athabasca River. The main objectives of the 1990 study were to determine if SOD rates increased over the winter and to determine the longitudinal trend of SOD in the Athabasca River and the Wapiti-Smoky River system.
