Water quality monitoring equipment has been deployed at over 42 sites across the NWT to address community concerns.
Community members were trained to use the following equipment:
•YSI sondes: sit in the water and measure basic water quality parameters every 2 hours for up to 3 months. Analysis undertaken at ENR.
•Grab water samples: measure basic parameters, nutrients, physicals, major ions,...
