Environmental Monitoring
What is Environmental Monitoring?
Surface water is found in rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and other natural or manmade watercourses. Many bodies of water throughout Nova Scotia provide water for public use or consumption, so monitoring and maintaining water quality is of the utmost importance. Surface water quality monitoring (SWQM) is an essential tool in the multi-barrier approach’s toolkit, ensuring our water quality is maintained in the natural environment. SWQM is an effective method for assessing the impact of human activities on the surrounding water, for developing appropriate protection and mitigation measures for construction or land alteration projects, and for assessing the effectiveness of water resource management programs.
