A Review and Analysis of Existing Alberta Data on Drinking Water Quality and Treatment Facilities for the Northern River Basins Study by Dennis Scott Prince,Daniel W. Smith,Stephen John Stanley,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf

This report summarizes the results of a project conducted to gather existing information about drinking water quality, drinking water facilities, and water treatment effectiveness in the area covered by the Northern River Basins Study (Peace, Slave, and Athabasca River basins in northern Alberta). The report includes a comparison of water treatment performance to the Canada Drinking Water Quality Guidelines. The appendices contain summaries of parameters in the treated water survey, of the comparisons between raw and treated water, and of samples not meeting the Guidelines, as well as an inventory of treatment facilities giving facility name and location, water source, community population, treatment method used, raw storage capacity, and treated volumes.

An Assessment of Drinking Water Quality for Alberta Communities in the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins by Dennis Scott Prince,Northern River Basins Study (Canada),Stephen John Stanley,Daniel Walter Smith Pdf

Presents results of site visits to 38 water treatment facilities located in the Northern River Basins Study area along the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave rivers. The 38 sites selected for the visits (out of 180 treatment facilities in the area) represent an overall cross-section of the types of facilities found in the area, based on existing data regarding raw water source, treatment process used, size of facility, and treated water quality. Parameters reported include turbidity, microbial contamination, trihalomethane, temperature, pH, conductivity, colour, and ammonia. Plant operating practices, sampling routines, and chemical dosing strategies are also reported.

Northern River Basins Study by Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf

Report 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.

Assessment of Drinking Water Quality in the Northern River Basins Study Area by Tanya Faye Armstrong,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf

The NTBS was designed to address the ecological concerns about pulp mill expansion, and to increase scientific knowledge about environmental conditions [ecology, ecosystem sustainability, water pollution and control, habitat, effect on fish and fishing, etc.] in the major river systems of the north. The study's objectives were to gather and interpret sound scientific information about the basins, develop appropriate recommendations for basin management, and communicate effectively with the public. The government response report confirms the governments' commitment to ecosystem sustainability and to pollution control in northern rivers. First Nations and Metis aboriginal [native] peoples contributed significantly to the NRBS.

An Assessment of Non-conventional Drinking Water in the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins by T. F. Armstrong,Northern River Basins Study (Canada),Stephen John Stanley,Daniel Walter Smith Pdf

Assesses the utilization and quality of the different non- conventional sources of drinking water used by people in the Northern River Basins Study area. Such sources include rain water, melted snow or ice, untreated surface water, dugout water, groundwater, bottled water, and water treated by various point-of-use technologies. The assessment included a literature review on non-conventional drinking water sources, drinking water quality, and the correlation between drinking water and health; interviews with area residents on their non-conventional drinking water practices; collection of field samples of non-conventional drinking water and analysis of samples for various physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters; and research on the effectiveness of some of the portable point-of-use drinking water treatment filters on the market.

Water Resources Use and Management Issues for the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins by Michael Williams,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf

As part of a survey of residents of northern Alberta river basins, respondents were asked to choose the best and worst examples of various sets of threats to water quality/quantity in the basins as well as best and worst examples of possible management actions. This report analyses the responses to the two sets of best/worst questions, using logistic regression. The analysis produced the following estimates: the probability that each of 11 possible threats to water quantity/quality will be selected as the area of most concern; and the probability of each of 11 possible management actions will be selected as the most effective response to such concerns. The probabilities produced by this analysis are ranked to determine the preferences of northern households and various stakeholder groups within the basin.

Water Resources Use and Management Issues for the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins by Tony Hoare,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf

The Northern River Basins Study Board will be formulating recommendations covering many areas likely to be of consequence or interest to basin residents. To assist the Board in this task, a series of projects was initiated to survey the residents on their use of northern river basins waters. This report details the efforts undertaken to develop a list of stakeholders that should be approached for input in a workshop setting. These efforts included designing a stakeholder questionnaire, conducting a telephone survey, and analyzing the data. It also reviews the survey results, including the types and membership of stakeholder groups, use of river basins, water management and water use concerns, and preferred location and time of the proposed workshops. The appendix includes a copy of the questionnaire and a directory of stakeholder groups in the survey sample (by category).

A Synthesis of Information on Effluent Characteristics of Municipal and Non-pulp Mill Industrial Sources in the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins by Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf

The objective of this report is to compile and synthesise existing information from government and industry sources on the nature of liquid effluents from municipalities and non-pulp mill industries in northern Alberta river basins. Information was obtained from 16 continuously discharging municipal sewage treatment plants, 77 periodically discharging sewage plants, and 62 licensed industrial discharges such as oil sands plants, coal mines, cement plants, and wood products operations. Information presented includes: description of wastewater treatment methods used; releases of treated sanitary wastewater; quantity and quantity of sewage treatment plant data; characteristics (chemical, nutrient, microbial, toxicological) of sanitary wastewater discharges; industrial effluent characteristics; and impacts on the aquatic environment. Gaps in the data are also identified.

A Review of Population Health Status in Northern Alberta by S. Gabos,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf

'The people of the Northern River Basins Study Area are fortunate to live in a beautiful environment and to be among the healthiest people. When compared to other parts of the world, the environment they live in has not generally put them at great risks to their health. A substantial proportion of the local people, however, are concerned about the subtle link between the state of their environment and diseases such as, cancer, diabetes, heart problems, diarrhea, asthma, and other health problems in their communities'--Introduction.
