Abiotic controls of fine sediment on the form and mobility of phosphorus in a gravel-bed river during low flow
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-18)Landscape scale disturbance in forested source water regions can accelerate the transfer of fine sediment and associated phosphorus (P) to receiving streams and degrade water quality in downstream environments for human ... -
Coagulant addition for managing sediment-associated phosphorus bioavailability to prevent cyanobacterial blooms in drinking water reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)To ensure the uninterrupted supply of adequate amounts of drinking water, many utilities rely on reservoirs for raw (i.e., untreated) water storage prior to treatment. For example, reservoirs are integral to storing water ... -
Contemporary Forest Harvesting Impacts on Drinking Water Quality and Treatability
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-31)Forested watersheds supply ~75% of global accessible freshwater resources and serve as important sources of drinking water. Both natural and anthropogenic landscape disturbances in these regions can deteriorate water quality ... -
Factors controlling dissolved oxygen in spawning gravels: Evaluation of the Sediment Intrusion and Dissolved Oxygen model (SIDO) for fisheries management
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-01)Natural and anthropogenic landscape disturbance pressures have accelerated the transfer of fine sediment to streams in forested headwater regions of the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The accumulation of fine ... -
Quantifying and Modelling Post-Wildfire Sediment Production in Waterton Lakes National Park
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-16)High-severity wildfires can increase sediment mobility and erosion rates in burned landscapes which increase the delivery of fine sediment to receiving streams. The downstream propagation of these pyrogenic materials can ... -
Spatial and Temporal Trends in Water Quality in a Mixed-Use Landscape: Agriculture vs. Urban Areas
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-22)The eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems is a growing water quality concern as it can promote the proliferation of harmful algal blooms that have severe environmental, health, and economic impacts. In United States alone, ...
