A Summary of Results of the 1997-1998
Kings County Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Program
Introduction
In early 1997 the Municipality of Kings County began a volunteer water quality monitoring program at a number of lakes located within the Gaspereau River watershed. This program was initiated in order to validate a lakeshore capacity model developed for this region by Horner Associates Ltd., an Ontario based consulting firm. The model attempts to predict how water quality will be affected by changes in development within the watershed. Three years of data have been collected to date, one year (1993) by Horner Associates Ltd and two years (1997-98) by the volunteer group. This report provides a brief summary of the results.
