Welland Canal Water Rangers testkitters

Data is regularly collected in the Welland Recreational Canal from the boathouse docks. Water quality data are collected using tools in the Water Rangers Freshwater Explorer testkit, including portable probes and test strips, conductivity meter, secchi disc, and dissolved oxygen tests. Long term trends are tracked and logged on the Water Rangers data platform.
The group also collects data from the Humber River at Magwood Sanctuary.

Data Collection Information

Samples taken using Water Rangers Freshwater Explorer testkits. A digital probe is used to collect temperature and conductivity data from a triple rinsed surface water sample. Clarity and depth is obtained via secchi disc. Dissolved oxygen is measured using the Indigo Carmine test from Chemetrics. pH, Alkalinity, Chlorinity, and Hardness obtained from Taylor test strip test.
