lahave river water Quality monitoring

Now in its 15th year, this water quality monitoring program has become one of the strongest, longest-running programs in Atlantic Canada. 
  • We monitor 15 sites monthly, year-round throughout the watershed.
  • Water samples – including bacteria – are collected from 10 sites to monitor chemical changes within the water at a watershed-scale, and to monitor water quality changes over time.
  • A Water Quality Index (WQI) report is published annually to provide a score for each site’s overall health.
