Keewatin - Southern Baffin Island Long-term Water Quality Monitoring Data

Long-term freshwater quality monitoring data for sites in the Keewatin – Southern Baffin Island Basin for the past 15 years or longer for nutrients, metals, major ions, and other physical-chemical variables are included in this dataset. Monitoring is conducted by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to assess water quality status and long-term trends, detect emerging issues, establish water quality guidelines and track the effectiveness of remedial measures and regulatory decisions. The information informs the Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative and supports activities of the Prairie Provinces Water Board (PPWB).
