Description
Alberta Environment has identified water quality in the North Saskatchewan River (NSR) as a major issue to be addressed in the North Saskatchewan Regional Plan (NSRP). Knowledge of the source, transport and fate of sediment-associated contaminants in this watershed is fundamental to understanding and managing anthropogenic impacts on water quality and source assessment study conducted for Alberta Environment and Water to provide information regarding the following two research questions: 1) What are the physical, geochemical and contaminant characteristics of sediment in the NSR and is tributaries, and 2) What are the key spatial sources in sediment in the NSR?
