Executing a Long-Term Watershed Monitoring Plan for the West Fundy Composite Level 1 Watershed

Eastern Charlotte Waterways Inc. (ECW) created an integrated watershed management plan (2020). This plan utilized multiple parameters under three broad categories, biomonitoring, physiochemical, and hydromorphological, to assess the state of watersheds in New Brunswick. This project aims to assess the plan created by ECW to determine whether the chosen parameters and the staff, time, and equipment necessary to monitor those parameters achieve their purpose in the most efficient way possible. This project also aims to add one year of data to the baseline dataset for the West Fundy Composite level 1 watershed. Eleven sites were
monitored in the four major rivers in the West Fundy Composite level 1 watershed: the Magaguadavic River, Digdeguash River, Lepreau River, and New River. On each river, a site was established in the upper reaches, the mouth, and a central point in order to get an understanding of water quality in the largest portion of the river.

东夏洛特水道公司（Eastern Charlotte Waterways Inc., ECW）于2020年制定了一项综合流域管理计划。该计划依托生物监测、理化及水文形态学三大类别的多项参数，对新不伦瑞克省的流域现状开展评估。本项目旨在对ECW制定的该计划进行评估，以验证所选监测参数，以及监测这些参数所需的人员、时间与设备，能否以最优效率达成既定目标。同时，本项目还将为芬迪西部复合一级流域的基准数据集补充一年期监测数据。本次监测覆盖芬迪西部复合一级流域内的四条主要河流：马格达瓜迪克河（Magaguadavic River）、迪德格什河（Digdeguash River）、勒普雷奥河（Lepreau River）与新河（New River），共设置11个监测点位。每条河流分别在上游、河口及中游布设监测点位，以全面掌握该河流主要区段的水质状况。
