Description

A water quality study was initiated on the Red Deer River to address water quality concerns experienced by the Anthony Henday Water Treatment Plant during periods of runoff. The study was designed to document longitudinal changes in water quality in the Red Deer River between the Dickson Dam and the City of Red Deer, and to evaluate the effects of contributions from the Little Red Deer and Medicine rivers on Red Deer River water quality during spring runoff.

Description

Part 1 -The Haynes Creek Study was one of three studies funded under the Canada-Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture agreement (CAESA) to describe the effects of agriculture on surface waters in Alberta. This study was conducted in the Haynes Creek watershed to determine if runoff from cattle wintering grounds and from cultivated fields had a direct, measurable influence on stream water quality. The Haynes Creek watershed (east of the city of Red Deer) was selected because it was considered representative of very intensive agricultural activity on a landscape sensitive to water erosion. Part 2 - The Provincial Stream Survey was one of three studies funded under the Canada-Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture agreement (CAESA) to describe the effects of agriculture on surface waters in Alberta. This study was conducted to determine if there are relationships between the agricultural intensity in the drainage basins and water quality of streams. Part 3 - Federal...
