Water quality of 15 streams in agricultural watersheds of Southwestern Ontario 2004-2009: Seasonal patterns, regional comparisons, and the influence of land use
Description:
Southwestern Ontario is a region of intense crop and livestock production. The impacts of these agricultural activities on stream water quality is a concern for the health of the streams flowing through these regions, as well as downstream receiving waters, including large rivers with drinking water intakes and the Great Lakes.
The Nutrient Management Programme, led by the Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Branch of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, is an on-going study of the impacts of agricultural activities on stream water quality in Southwestern Ontario. In this document, we report on data collected from 2004-2009 as part of this programme.
