Freshwater Quality Monitoring: Bay of Islands and Humber Valley, Newfoundland and Labrador

10.25976/sm6c-fy36

Freshwater monitoring serves an important role in observing any noticeable change in water quality, in any tested body of water. Water quality throughout the Humber Valley watershed is especially important as this watershed covers a large geographic region of western Newfoundland. These bodies of water are all found within close proximity to residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, and are heavily utilized for various recreational purposes, also providing valuable habitat for a variety of species found within this region. This comprehensive water quality database for the Humber Valley and Bay of Islands regions serves as a baseline dataset to provide future assessments of changes in water quality. This initiative has been made possible due to the Support from CURA H2O and the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Municipal Affairs and Environment
