The University of Calgary Environmental Science Program has an annual field school in the lower Kananaskis Valley, SW Alberta, that occurs in the first week of September. At several river sites, largely consistent among years, senior students collect data on water chemistry, macroinvertebrates and hydrology. Water chemistry data are obtained using field and lab instruments by the students and by a lab technician. These annual data are analyzed each year by students to assess human impacts associated with recreation in the valley.
