Water Monitoring and Stewardship

Research

Research helps us understand how the environment functions and the relationships between variables. Applied research advances the knowledge of northern water resources. Understanding the effects of changes such as development and climate on the environment is important to sound resource management decision-making.

The Water Management and Monitoring division conducts and supports research into emerging water resource issues.
