Summary: The research project Water Ecosystems Monitoring using Earth Observation aims to define an Earth Observation (EO) driven monitoring program to provide information towards monitoring environmental indicators of northern ecosystem health. Once the project is done information on water indicators including water temperature, suspended sediment concentrations, water levels, and ice quality and will be ...

Summary: The first objective is to conduct a combined Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessments for a buried pipeline located within the municipality of Fort Resolution, Northwest Territories. The second objective is to identify any health and safety concerns associated with the buried pipe line. A records review and gap analysis will be done to synthesize the information that the research team have o...

Summary: The objective of the groundwater investigation is to confirm the presence or absence of contamination and to determine the risk associated with contaminated groundwater infiltration into the lake (if applicable). This work will include installing five to six monitoring wells at the site in the area adjacent to the Great Slave Lake. A secondary objective is to inspect the fuel storage tanks located...

Summary: The SWEEP program is being used to establish a community based environmental monitoring program in the Slave River and delta. The project has been funded for 2 years by the Canadian Water Network (CWN) to develop a new 'node' for community based monitoring which is harmonized with those already established by other CWN projects. SWEEP will develop a suite of both 'community based' and 'western s...

Summary: The goal of the 2011 Surface Water Hydrology & Climate program at Thor Lake is to collect additional data that describes the existing surface water and climate conditions at the Thor Lake Property. This information is required for continued baseline monitoring, environmental assessments and water management plans for the area. Data obtained will help determine a quantitative description of the ann...

Summary: The objective of this research is to assess the performance of lagoons and wetlands in the treatment of municipal wastewater in Canada's Arctic. A secondary objective is to determine the occurrence of trace contaminants in northern wastewaters. Samples will be taken from the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated wastewater) select wastewater systems. Samples will be taken during the perio...

Summary: NT Hydro is in the process of characterizing the hydro potential of the NWT, and the hydrological information collected from the four gauging sites will be used to determine if any hydro potential exists on these four rivers. These gauges are not being installed in relation to development of a specific hydro project on these water bodies. Installation of the gauging stations: Hydrometric g...

Summary: To determine the effects of low-flow conditions on overwintering fish habitats in target area. This will include water depth and velocity transects, fish sampling and dissolved oxygen level measurements. Sampling efforts will be focused on the habitats associated with the diversion reach of the Project and will also include habitats immediately upstream and downstream. At select locations, ic...
