Book excerpt: This book deals with the water policy and management in Canada. It discusses various problems and risks in the fresh and drinking water supply in the second largest country in the world. Mohammed Dore argues that water is underpriced and used wastefully in Canada. In selected case studies, he illustrates the major threats from human activity to Canadian freshwaters and drinking water resources, including manufacturing, mining, oil sands production, animal farming and agricultural use. Selected case studies include reviews of even dramatic incidences, e.g. the Walkerton tragedy of 2000, when 7 people were killed and 200 went onto permanent dialysis treatment because of water contamination with harmful pathogens. The book warns that wastewater treatment standards are often not sufficient, so that many drinking water resources are in peril of wastewater contamination. As most of the water resources are provincial responsibility, the book discusses the water management policies in the different provinces separately. Through a detailed discussion and statistical analyses, it can define water policy and management lessons that emerge from the investigated case studies. It ends by contrasting water policy and practice in Canada with the practice in some European countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In September 2000, experts on the effects of selenium on fish and wildlife in North America were invited to a two-day technical workshop in Hinton, Alberta. The main goals of the workshop were to review the Alberta results and develop workplans to address data and knowledge gaps. Alberta Environment initiated several studies based on the workshop and discussions in the Selenium Working Group. The focus of the Alberta Environment studies was to conduct ambient monitoring and determine the fate and potential effects of selenium in flowing-water systems surrounding the mines. Specific objectives of the studies were to: 1. Continue and establish new ambient monitoring of selenium and other metals at sites near the CRC, Gregg River and Smoky River mines, including pairs of reference and exposed sites in stream systems that flow through the mines. 2. Determine the concentrations of selenium in surface water and components of the aquatic food web (i.e., sediment, biofilm, benthic macroinvertebrates and other nonfish biota) in flowing-water systems, and to compare these data in a conceptual food web for streams near the mines. 3. Conduct a pilot study to determine selenium concentrations at old, closed or abandoned coal mines in the Rocky Mountain foothills of south-western Alberta. This report is a compilation and summary of data collected in the Alberta Environment studies from 1998 to 2003. Available data before 1998 are also used to illustrate longer-term trends for selenium at key sites in the McLeod River, and limited samples from lakes are included for comparative information."--Document.

Download or read book Selenium Assessment in Aquatic Ecosystems written by A. Dennis Lemly and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selenium is a naturally occurring trace element that can become concentrated and released by industrial, agricultural, petrochemical and mining activities. At concentrated levels it is toxic and has polluted ecosystems around the world. This book will serve as a comprehensive practical handbook for everyone dealing with selenium in aquatic environments. It offers field-tested approaches and methods for assessment and water quality management. Using his twenty-year experience, the author discusses the effects of selenium on fish and bird populations and presents guidelines for identifying sources of pollution, interpreting selenium concentrations, assessing hazardous conditions, setting water quality criteria and ecosystem loading limits (TMDLs). He also includes a procedure for setting environmentally safe limits that ensure compliance with EPA regulations. Selenium Assessment in Aquatic Ecosystems will interest field scientists, natural resource managers, risk assessors and environmental planners.
