This study quantifies the inputs of phosphorus from various sources and determines the extent to which additional phosphorus could be tolerated by each lake without a serious decrease in water quality. Based on this information, appropriate land uses and...

The Aquatic Ecosystems assessment protocol currently describes the derivation of a core set of watershed indicators that can be calculated consistently across the province using GIS data layers readily available from GeoBC or other ministry providers. The...

This resource from Ecocat is a catalogue containing each stream's location, spawning distribution, barriers and points of difficult ascent, escapement records, and other general data pertaining to the stream. The catalogue also includes a topographical map...

This report documents the methodology used by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to identify potential Strategy 2 habitat indicators, metrics, and benchmarks (as well as possible sampling protocols). The proposed list of indicators presented in...

In this project, a bioassessment tool known as the Reference Condition Approach (RCA) was developed for north-central British Columbia. In the RCA, benthic invertebrates and habitat descriptors from a large number of reference sites are used to build a...

The Surface Water Monitoring Sites web application allows users to browse a map interface to find freshwater monitoring locations throughout BC. Clicking on a station provides the name and description of the water quality monitoring station as well as...

The Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) test results as .csv files available for download. Results include physical, chemical and biological analyses of samples taken from water, air, solid waste discharges and ambient monitoring sites throughout the...
