Pictou County Water Quality data

The Pictou County Rivers Association (PCRA) started monitoring the water quality in the seven main rivers that run through our county in 2014. Approximately every two weeks from late May to early October, PCRA volunteers use portable water quality sensors to measure temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and conductivity at 2 locations on each river, one just above the head of tide and one in the upper watershed. The program has been conducted every year since 2014 so we have 7 years of data collected and plan to continue the program in 2021. The data collected is compiled and summarized each year and the results compared to previous year’s results and Canadian Water Quality Objectives for the protection of fish and aquatic life. The PCRA acknowledges the technical and financial support provided by the Atlantic Water Network at St. Mary’s University and the NS Salmon Association's Adopt a Stream program which make it possible to conduct this program.

皮克图县河流协会（Pictou County Rivers Association，PCRA）于2014年启动对本县七条主要河流的水质监测工作。自5月下旬至10月初，协会志愿者约每两周开展一次采样，使用便携式水质传感器在每条河流的两个点位测定水温、溶解氧、pH值与电导率：一个点位恰好在潮汐起点上方，另一个位于上游流域。该项目自2014年起每年持续开展，目前已积累7年监测数据，并计划于2021年继续推进。项目团队每年都会对采集所得的数据进行汇总与整理，将本年度结果与往年监测数据及用于保护鱼类与水生生物的加拿大水质目标进行比对。皮克图县河流协会感谢圣玛丽大学大西洋水网络（Atlantic Water Network at St. Mary’s University）以及新斯科舍省鲑鱼协会“领养溪流”（Adopt a Stream）项目提供的技术与资金支持，使得本项目得以顺利实施。

背景概述

Pictou County Water Quality数据集是由Pictou County Rivers Association自2014年起持续收集的水质监测数据，涵盖七个主要河流的温度、溶解氧、pH值和电导率等关键指标，数据每两周更新一次，计划延续至2025年。该数据集得到了多个组织的技术支持，并遵循严格的监测和数据处理流程。
