Fortwhyte Alive Model Watershed Project
FortWhyte Alive identified declining water quality conditions by observing staff and then completing a North South Consultants Assessment on Current Water Quality Conditions. This was done in August 2009. FortWhyte started to gather monthly baseline monitoring data about lake health, all year. This program is intended to be a source of data for post-secondary research and help in making water management decisions to improve lake water quality. FortWhyte lakes can support an urban fishery. They are also used for recreation purposes, such as swimming or boating.

Abstract The following data sets contain parameters measured each month by facility staff between March 2013, 2013 and December 2017, respectively. Sets will be reviewed annually as data continues to be gathered. This data set includes five lakes at Fort. Whyte Alive in Winnipeg is a private facility. The Fort. Canada Cement started excavating the Whyte Lakes in 1911 with its clay-pit mine mining operation. They are organized in this order: Lake 2 (1950), Lake 3(1960), Devonian and Cargill (1980). Monitoring of the wastewater treatment plant (2001) is also possible during periods when there are no ice conditions. Measuring parameters include temperature, conductivity (ice thickness and depth), chlorophyll A concentration and Secchi depth).
