Transboundary Rivers Water Quality Monitoring Program

10.25976/429b-qn70

The Department of Environment and Climate Change (ECC) is responsible for monitoring transboundary waters to ensure that upstream provinces and territories are not causing downstream effects in the Northwest Territories (NWT). The Transboundary suspended sediment and water quality sampling sites were established to characterize the water quality in the major transboundary rivers flowing into the NWT. The transboundary rivers monitored under this program are the Slave, Hay, Liard and Peel Rivers.The comprehensive program has developed a solid baseline for the aquatic ecosystem of these rivers against which future changes can be measured.
