Comparison of sampling strategies to monitor water quality in Prairie Watersheds
(2014-07-18)
Most water-quality monitoring programs are characterized by low-frequency sampling with variable intervals (Neal et al., 2012). In Manitoba, Conservation and Water Stewardship collects water from streams and creeks ...
Investigating the Temporal Scales of Nutrient transport in a prairie watershed using High-Frequency Hydrological and Water Quality Data
(2014-07-18)
A greater understanding of hydrological processes is needed to interpret patterns present in water quality data under various climatic conditions (wet, intermediate, dry), seasons (spring, summer, fall), and events ...
Investigating Spatiotemporal changes in water quality across a nested system of intensively managed prairie watersheds
(2014-07-18)
The study of spatial and temporal patterns of watershed properties can provide a greater understanding of the drivers of hydrologic
change. This is especially true for water quality dynamics that are known to vary: 1) ...
Spatiotemporal Variability of Water Quality and Stable Water Isotopes in an Intensively Managed Prairie Watershed
(2014-07-18)
Eutrophication, has been identified as an important water quality issue for freshwater
systems (Barlow, et al., 2004). Factors impacting watershed management in Prairie
landscapes include extensive land drainage networks ...
Visualizing the variability of small scale subsurface water flow in the South Tobacco Creek watershed
(2014-07-18)
Though overland flow is the most dramatic aspect of a flood, a crucial part of quantitatively analyzing the timing, duration, and intensity of a flooding event lies in understanding the effect that subsurface flow has ...
Investigating the Potential of Electromagnetic Induction for Mapping Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Variations in Southern Manitoba
(2014-07-18)
This research aimed to explore the potential of electromagnetic induction as a valid soil moisture monitoring technique in a Canadian prairie watershed. Soil moisture (SM) information is important for many aspects of ...
Comparison of hydrologic dynamics in forested and agricultural sub-watersheds of a large mixed-use Prairie watershed
(2014-07-18)
The natural history of the Prairies includes the large-scale human modification of landscape biology and hydrology from first settlement to present. Forested land has been and continues to be lost and runoff is increasingly ...
Hydrologic dynamics of a large Prairie watershed: Looking for runoff controls in an engineered, mixed use landscape
(2014-07-18)
Despite intense and continued human modification of the Prairie landscape,
the consequences of this hydrological management on the runoff regime
remain poorly understood. Specifically, previous research carried out
in ...
