Description

The intensive monitoring of the Oldman River and its tributaries was conducted from April 1984 to March 1985. The study included chemical monitoring, biological monitoring of algae, macrophytes and benthic invertebrates, and testing for accumulation of metals and organic contaminants in the sediments. The establishment of baseline conditions indicate the current status of the basin, including the impact of present development. This forms a basis for comparison for any future impacts or developments.
