Surface Water Quality Discrete

Surface water data derived from field-gathered samples analyzed in labs. The data are part of a long-term monitoring program that can be used to meet various needs.

  • ABS058: Historical data from a 1998-2015 focus study on the Muskeg River watershed

  • ABS098: Acid sensitive lake data from 1998 to present (active)

  • ABS191: OSM tributary data (excluding Muskeg River watershed) from 2011 to 2015

  • ABS240: OSM tributary data collected by Alberta Environment and Parks/Environment and Protected Areas from 2015 to present (active)

  • ABS264: Enhanced Lower Athabasca River monitoring data from a 2018 to present (active)

  • ICBM: Indigenous community-based monitoring data from 2021 to present (active). Please email aep.osmdatainquiries@gov.ab.ca regarding access to ICBM data.

  • RAMP: Historical data collected as part of the Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program from 2003 to 2015
