Planktonic and Epipelic Algal Communities and their Relationship to Physical and Chemical Variables in Alpine Ponds in Banff National Park, Canada
Download2005
McMaster, N. L., Schindler, D. W.
We surveyed 14 ponds in 1999 and 28 ponds in 2000 to better understand the basic limnology of alpine ponds and to predict how the planktonic and epipelic (sediment-living) algal communities may respond to nutrient deposition and climate change. Based on nitrogen to phosphorus ratios, nitrogen...

Preliminary compatibility studies of G.C.O.S. sand tailings pond water with Athabasca River
Download1968
Alberta Health, Environmental Health Services Division
On May 30, 1968 G.C.O.S requested permission to discharge 110 x 106 ft3 of effluent from the sands tailings pond at the Fort McMurray site into the Athabasca River during periods of high river flow. G.C.O.S. outlined the events which made this request necessary in order that an adequate base be...

Preliminary recommendations for mapping of aquatic habitat parameters for the AOSERP study area
Download1978
Brown, A., Robarts, R. D., Kent, M. J., Park, J. O.
Three aspects of aquatic habitat assessment and mapping have been considered. The first aspect was the review of the parameters which characterize aquatic habitats in the AOSERP study area. From an extensive list, ten parameters for each of lake habitats and river habitats were selected as being...

Present and potential effects of anthropogenic activities on waters associated with peatlands in Alberta
Download1990
A literature review and problem analysis of the present and potential effects of human activities in peatlands on the quality and quantity of associated waters is presented in this report. The specific objectives were to describe: 1. The present state of knowledge about waters associated with...

Regional assessment of the effects of land use on water quality: A case study in the Oldman River Basin, Alberta
DownloadFall 2010
Protecting and managing Canadian water resources in the face of growing cumulative effects and non-point source pollution from development (industrial, agricultural, and urban), depends on defensible, scientifically founded, watershed assessments. The objectives of this research were to broadly...

1980
A regular program of water quality sampling has been instituted throughout the region of current oil sands development in northeastern Alberta. The goals of this program were to provide a base of background information on an extensive number of water quality parameters to enable the employment of...

Bidgood, B. F., Baldwin, H. A.
Design techniques are presented for a very high frequency telemetry system capable of transmitting short radio frequency pulse signals from the body of a fish to an aircraft flying over a river. The system design has considered the water chemistry and river turbulence of the Athabasca River in...

Review of the Scientific Basis of Water Quality Criteria for the East Slope Foothills of Alberta
Download1987
Beak Associates Consulting Ltd.
The study was commissioned to establish the scientific rationale for existing wastewater discharge legislation for Alberta East Slopes coal mines. Three water quality parameters - total suspended solids, pH and total iron - and four design flow parameters - applicability of the dam and canal...
