Bonnechere River Watershed Project - Riverwatch

Water quality data are collected since 1999 including using tools in the Ottawa Riverkeeper and Water Rangers Freshwater Explorer testkits, including portable probes and test strips with funding provided by Ontario Trillium Foundation, Canada Summer Jobs and Environment Canada Science Horizons and lab analysis support from Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Dr. Murray Richardson, Dept. Geography & Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa. Trends over time are logged and tracked on the Water Rangers data platform.

Data Collection Information

Samples were initially taken using standard lab tests methodogy followed by use of the Ottawa Riverkeeper test kit and most recently the Water Rangers Freshwater Explorer kit. For the latter, a digital probe is used to collect temperature and conductivity data from a triple rinsed surface water sample. Clarity is obtained via secchi depth. Dissolved oxygen is estimated using the Indigo Carmine test. pH, Alkalinity, Chlorinity, and Hardness obtained from Taylor test strip test.

Data Collection Processing

QA/QC performed initially by survey partners, most recently Water Rangers staff or volunteers.
