Northern River Basins Study Final Report

6.0 Workshop Comments
6.5 Future Studies

  • Studies should focus as well on forestry, oil and gas, coal mining, road building and agriculture, with particular attention to the effects of contaminants and nutrients.
  • Studies should be conducted with participation from neighbouring provinces, in particular British Columbia.
  • Studies should examine both micro and macro effects of nutrients, and agriculture.
  • Studies should examine tributaries.
  • Studies should look at hazardous waste in land fills.
  • Studies should focus on resin acids and PCBs.
  • Studies should be modelled after NRBS studies so that progress of the river system can be effectively modelled according to consistent standards.
  • Studies should be ecologically based and not technologically based.
