DOWNLOAD EBOOKReport to the federal ministers of Environment and Indian & Northern Affairs, Alberta's Minister of Environmental Protection, and NWT's Minister of Renewable Resources. Summarises the main scientific findings of the Northern River Basins Study, which was established to examine the relationship between industrial, municipal, agricultural, and other development and the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave River basins. Reviews the characteristics of the northern river basins and their peoples, the organisation of the Study, and major findings in the areas of environmental overview, use of aquatic resources, traditional knowledge, flow regulation, fish distribution and habitat, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, contaminants, drinking water, ecosystem health, modelling, human health, and cumulative effects. Recommendations by the Study Board, First Nations, and scientific advisors regarding such issues as basin management, monitoring, research, public participation, and a successor organisation are then presented. Also includes a summary of opinions, suggestions, and recommendations expressed at 17 community workshops held throughout the northern river basins area.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this study was to determine the potential for off-flavour tainting of water and/or fish in the Athabasca River by compounds discharged from pulp mills. Three different analytical methods commonly used in monitoring for the presence of odorous compounds in water supplies are described and results are presented: odour characterization by a trained flavour profile panel; olfactory gas chromatography; and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. The usefulness of each method in providing different types of information is noted. The results are compared with those of an earlier survey to indicate the impact of combined effluents at Hinton on the odour of the Athabasca River.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis bibliography contains references to government and industry reports, journal articles, databases and other sources of information on instream nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations and loading, nutrient sources, and the effects of nutrient loading on the benthic communities and sediment oxygen demand within the three northern rivers of the study: the Athabasca, Peace and Slave rivers. A few references from outside the study area have been included because of the relevance of their findings. Each reference consists of the author, date, title, journal/book, publisher, annotation and key words. This bibliography contains 134 references in total.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLists Northern River Basins Study technical reports by issue number, subject, and geographic area studied. Subject areas used to classify the reports are: hydrology/hydraulics, nutrients/dissolved oxygen, contaminants, food chain, drinking water, other uses, traditional knowledge, and synthesis and modelling. Ten geographic divisions are used: three each for the Athabasca and Peace Rivers, and one each of the Wapiti/Smoky rivers, Peace-Athabasca Delta, Lake Athabasca, and Rivière des Rochers/Slave River.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA counterpoint to biodiversity, geodiversity describes the rocks, sediments, soils, fossils, landforms, and the physical processes that underlie our environment. The first book to focus exclusively on the subject, Geodiversity describes the interrelationships between geodiversity and biodiversity, the value of geodiversity to society, as well as current threats to its existence. Illustrated with global case studies throughout, the book examines traditional approaches to protecting biodiversity and the new management agenda which is starting to be used instead.
