Assiniboine Delta Aquifer--Management Planning Process
TABLE OF CONTENTS Transmittal Letter . 3 Area Map . 4-5 Plan Development . 6 Stakeholders . 8 Study Area . 9 The Aquifer . 12 Aquifer Issues . 20 Options Considered . 23 Draft Plan Distribution, Public Participation & Input . 26 Recommended Action Plans . 27 Action Plan Implementation . 29 Aquifer Facts & Equivalents of Measure . 31 Summary of Action Plan Goals & Objectives . 32 Logo: the ADA logo derives from the triangular symbol ∆ which is the capital form of the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet--delta. A delta is the triangular-shaped deposit of sediments that build up at the mouth of a river as it flows into a body of water. ∆ is used in mathematics and physics to mean 'change'. The flow velocity of a river changes [slows] dramatically as it reaches a lake--resulting in deltaic deposits of gravel, sand and silt. In a broader context, changes and/or improvements in understanding the aquifer and how it should be managed are the ultimate goals of this aquifer management planning process. The blue and beige colours (darker and lighter shades) within the triangle represent the water and deposits that comprise the aquifer. The vertical blue line extending below the triangle represents the wells that are drilled into the aquifer. The horizontal blue line represents the streams that flow across and through the aquifer. Cover: Aerial view of Devils Punchbowl in Spruce Woods Provincial Park (March 31, 2004). Water seeps from the aquifer, fills the bowl (foreground) and feeds a small, tree-lined stream that flows to the Assiniboine River. Planning for the future of the Assiniboine Delta Aquifer Letter of Transmittal May 2005 Honourable Steve Ashton Minister, Manitoba Water Stewardship Dear Minister: On behalf of our 45-agency, 43-member Round Table of stakeholder representatives, I am pleased to transmit this management plan for the Assiniboine Delta Aquifer. -
Plant Species on Salt-Affected Soil at Cheyenne Bottoms, Kansas
TRANSACTIONS OF THE KANSAS Vol. 109, no. 3/4 ACADEMY OF SCIENCE p. 207-213 (2006) Plant species on salt-affected soil at Cheyenne Bottoms, Kansas TODD A. ASCHENBACH1 AND KELLY KINDSCHER2 1. Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-2106 ([email protected]) 2. Kansas Biological Survey, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66047-3729 ([email protected]). Soil salinity and vegetative cover were investigated at Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve, Kansas in an effort to identify and document the plant species present on naturally occurring salt- and sodium-affected soil. Soil salinity (as indicated by electrical conductivity, ECe) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) were measured from nine soil samples collected to a depth of 20 cm in June 1998. Vegetative cover was visually estimated in June and September 1998. A total of 20 plant species were encountered at five soil sampling locations on soils classified as saline, saline-sodic, or sodic. Dominant species observed include Agropyron smithii, Distichlis spicata, Euphorbia geyeri, Poa arida, and Sporobolus airoides. While most species encountered during this study exhibited greater vegetative cover on non-saline soils, all of the dominant species, except A. smithii, exhibited greater cover on salt-affected soil compared to non- saline soil. Comparable salinity levels and species found in areas that have been degraded through oil and gas production activities suggest that the dominant species observed in this study deserve further attention as potential candidates for the restoration of salt-affected areas. Key Words: brine contamination, Cheyenne Bottoms, restoration, saline-sodic, salinity, salt tolerance. INTRODUCTION osmotic stress, ion toxicity or decreased absorption of essential nutrients (Läuchli and Salt-affected soils are commonly found in arid Epstein 1990). -

Gastony’s Cliffbrake ( Pellaea gastonyi ) in Manitoba: new records and assessment of conservation status. Canadian Field-Naturalist 129(1): 45–52. Gastony’s Cliffbrake ( Pellaea gastonyi Windham) is a globally rare fern (Pteridaceae) that grows on limestone cliffs and ledges, including those associated with alvars. until now, the only record in Manitoba was from a location just north of Fish - er Branch. We report additional records and locations, one of which is over 250 km north of the initial collection. We also provide a conservation status assessment of this species in Manitoba that indicates that this species is rare in the province and is threatened in a least a portion of its range by habitat loss and degradation.
