(EWSI) continued to satisfy all water demand requirements while meeting our strict water quality criteria. Total demand in 2020 was similar to 2019 and lower than 2018. With COVID-19 and the associated restrictions in 2020, EWSI saw a noticeable decrease in commercial consumption with only a small corresponding increase in residential demands. High raw water color in January and early February, at times in excess of 10 TCU, prevented Rossdale and E.L. Smith WTPs from operating in Direct Filtration (DF) for a number of days. When color decreased in early February, both WTPs converted to DF and remained in DF until April 8, when they were converted to conventional treatment in advance of spring runoff. In mid-April, Strawberry, Modeste and other creeks upstream began to show signs of freshet and carbon was started at both WTPs on April 12. Some odours were detected and carbon was fed for 16 days. Although color peaked at 118 TCU, spring runoff did not result in any significant taste and odour concerns in the treated water. Heavy rainfall events in May and July led to high raw water color (>80 TCU) and made it necessary to feed carbon on four separate occasions, approximately 15 days total. Color peaked at 173 TCU and turbidity at 1,900 NTU in late May. Edmonton WTPs continued to focus on optimizing chemical dosing and minimizing release of water treatment plant solid residuals to the NSR. Zeta Potential is being monitored at the EL Smith WTP during Direct Filtration to help filter polymer dose optimization and to increase plant performance during DF operation. A similar analyzer has been purchased for Rossdale WTP. With dry weather, raw water quality improved significantly in late August. With raw water color averaging less than 5 TCU, E.L. Smith WTP converted to DF on

There are a great many birds to be seen in Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park as Big Lake has been designated an Important Bird Area. This Guide features the most commonly seen birds; however, it is not a complete guide to all birds that could be seen at Big Lake. If you are, or become, passionate about birds, we recommend a comprehensive guide to the birds of North America as there are many species that migrate through Big Lake, or that are expanding their range into this area for a variety of reasons. There are also simply those individuals that wander off course and end up in our area; those wonderful lost individuals that keep birders on their toes.

  • BLESS Big Lake Migratory and Breeding Bird Survey, January 2004
    Migratory and Breeding Bird Survey Of the Big Lake Natural Area, Alberta Christina Elliott Valerie Nelson Miles Constable January, 2004 Cover photograph of Tundra Swans at Big Lake courtesy of Dr. R.K. Lane. All rights reserved. 2 Migratory and Breeding Bird Survey Of the Big Lake Natural Area, Alberta Christina Elliott Valerie Nelson Miles Constable Big Lake Environment Support Society, St. Albert, Alberta http://www.bless.ab.ca 3 Executive Summary The Big Lake Natural Area (BLNA) northwest of Edmonton and just outside of St. Albert is a group of habitats that is being affected by large-scale development and proposals for alternate land use. It is unknown whether this change in habitat utilization has had a substantial effect on the use of the area by waterfowl and upland avian species for either migratory or breeding purposes. Baseline data is necessary to determine species diversity and abundance in the area and to implement a more strategic timeline for monitoring habitat change and creating an integrated conservation plan. The Big Lake Natural Area is a globally recognized Important Bird Area (IBA) and measures are being taken to determine whether the notable congregatory species and nesting colonies of Franklin's Gulls will continue to be present at the lake or whether recent decreases in water levels and development have caused a long-term decline. Recent drought conditions appear to have contributed to the level of diversity in the Big Lake Natural Area, reducing the surface area of surrounding wetlands forcing many birds to use the BLNA. Similar Shannon-Weaver diversity indices were calculated for many of the habitats in the BLNA, partly owing to their close proximity.
