Description

This document provides a summary of the numeric and descriptive water quality values applied in Alberta. It is intended to be used as a screening tool for the evaluation of water quality monitoring date and for setting approvals limits for effluent discharges. If during the review of monitoring data guidelines are not exceeded, problems are unlikely. On the other hand, if the guidelines are exceeded, a detailed assessment might be required to determine the extent of and/or the possible sources of the exceedance and the potential adverse effects arising from the exceedance.
