Conservation authority hosts water day in Zurich
ZURICH — The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA)
will be joining local agencies and approximately 50 different coun-
tries in collecting water quality data as part of World Water
Monitoring Day Oct. 18.
ABCA healthy watersheds specialist Mari Veliz and ABCA water
resources technician Hope Brock are sampling water in the Zurich
drain that day.
The information they collect will not only be added to their exist-
ing local databank but it will also be sent to a permanent world-
wide database as part of World Water Monitoring Day.
The annual global event promotes watershed stewardship
through education and outreach.
"Water is one of our most vital resources," says Veliz.
"Monitoring our water quality is crucial to ensure clean and safe
water for all uses," Veliz adds.
The ABCA monitors water throughout the entire jurisdiction on a
monthly basis. The local conservation agency also undertakes
smaller watershed studies such as the Zurich Drain Water Quality
Enhancement Project.
The project aims to improve water quality through the imple-
mentation of land stewardship projects and Beneficial
Management Practices (BMPs).
"Monitoring in this smaller watershed allows us to identify poten-
tial water quality problems, and provides a baseline for compari-
son with future monitoring," says Brock.
"Many landowners have already initiated stewardship projects
and we hope that continued efforts by watershed residents will
result in improved water quality in the Zurich drain," Brock adds.
The ABCA will share its knowledge with the public Dec. 1 during
the unveiling of its first watershed report cards.
The publication is one of `Sixty Projects for Sixty Years' during
ABCA's 60th Anniversary celebrations in 2006.
These report cards not only summarize water quality data for the
entire watershed but also attempt to provide individual landown-
ers, municipalities and organizations with practical approaches to
improve water quality conditions.
