    Appendix 1 – Part 1 – Summary of Existing Watershed Resources – Brief Descriptions Additional Vulnerability Analysis for Almonte WHPA Model (2007) The vulnerability analysis for the Almonte Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA) completed in 2003 was updated to the most recent Ministry of the Environment (MOE) groundwater vulnerability guidance module. Updates to the Almonte WHPA model included the delineation of a 5 year time of travel (TOT) capture zone, vulnerability scoring for the Nepean aquifer and uncertainty analysis. A Multidisciplinary, Community-Based Study of the Environmental Health of the Rideau River: Final Report (2001) This report documents the results of the Rideau River Biodiversity Project (RRBP) which was conducted from 1998 to 2000 on the Rideau River from Smiths Falls to Ottawa. The projects goals were to assess the biodiversity of the Rideau River and to reconcile local needs with long- term sustainable management of its biological diversity. Eight biological components were monitored as part of the project and included: aquatic birds, aquatic invertebrates, aquatic plants, amphibians, fish, freshwater mussels, phytoplankton, and reptiles. In addition to the biological components of the study, water chemistry was also sampled and analyzed. A Prioritization System for Wetlands within the Rideau Valley Watershed, Draft Report (2006) The purposes of this study were to develop an updated and comprehensive inventory of all Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) evaluated wetlands in the Rideau Valley Watershed, develop a wetland protection prioritization scheme that can be applied to all evaluated wetlands for identification of the most threatened wetland habitats and prepare a database containing information from the OMNR’s evaluated wetland data records and the prioritized results for each evaluated wetland.
