CIMP 140: Changing hydrology in the Taiga Shield_ Geochemical and resource management implications

Determining the changes in winter stream flow on the North Slave Taiga Shield; the drivers of these recent changes; the impacts of these changes on the environment; and the implications to water quality. This project focuses on a region which contains the greatest concentration of people and infrastructure in the NWT and has pressing water management and contaminant related concerns. It is imperative that resource managers have knowledge of the current state and trends of water quality and quantity in this region to properly predict cumulative impacts of anthropogenic activities and to effectively plan and manage northern development. An NWT CIMP funded project.
