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...

Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009
Summary: The objectives of this four day field survey is to inspect the 4 hydrology stations and 1 meteorology station to ensure they are in working order, repair if required, and download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations. Equipment at each hydrostation consists of a datalogger (to record) and a pressure transducer (to detect fluid pressure and produce a signal related to the...
