Description

Research has shown that in Alberta, the amount of phosphorus in streams increases with agricultural intensity in watersheds. The goal of the Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project was to determine if wide-spread adoption of environmental beneficial management practices would improve water quality at the watershed scale, as well as to develop the Alberta Phosphorus Management Tool. This report supplements the previously published 2013–2017 Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project progress report by summarizing the results and progress of the Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project from 2018–2020.

Description

Highlights work done by the Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project between 2013-2017. The purpose of the project was to determine if widespread adoption of agricultural beneficial management practices would improve water quality at the watershed scale, and to develop the Alberta Phosphorus Management Tool as a means to identify highest risks for phosphorous loss. Results are presented in a detailed technical science report and an overview and key findings fact sheet.

Description

The former Water Quality Control Branch (WQCB) operated a number of deposition collectors around the province to determine the aeolian deposition rates of various substances to lakes. This deposition program was implemented in 1982 as part of the Wabamun Lake Eutrophication Study. Nine deposition collectors operated between 1982-86. The nine collectors were located at Nakamun East, Nakamun West, Dickson North, Dickson South, Smoke, Iosegun, and three collectors at Lake Wabamun: Wabamun (west of village, Seba (Jackpine Creek) and the Fish and Wildlife compound near Fallis.
