This report presents the results of intensive water quality sampling from 1999 to 2002, inclusive, and bacterial source tracking work in 2003, and compares these findings to previous studies. Included is a statistical analysis of spatial and temporal trends in concentration of key water quality indicators, and, where feasible, a mass flux analysis from Bragg Creek to Weaselhead. The analysis of spatial trends in suspended solids was supplemented by an aerial survey in November 2002, to identify erosion sites and other factors that could contribute to suspended solid concentrations in the Elbow River.
