  • Rideau River - Rideau Falls Catchment Lower Rideau River Subwatershed Report 2012
    RIDEAU RIVER - RIDEAU FALLS CATCHMENT LOWER RIDEAU RIVER SUBWATERSHED REPORT 2012 The RVCA produces individual reports for 16 catchments in the Lower Rideau subwatershed. Using data collected and analysed by the RVCA through its watershed monitoring and land cover classification programs, surface water quality conditions are reported for the Rideau River along with a summary of environmental conditions for the surrounding countryside every six years. This information is used to help better understand the effects of human activity on our water resources, allows us to better track environmental change over time and helps focus watershed management actions where they are needed the most. The following pages of this report are a compilation of that work. For other Lower Rideau catchments and Lower Rideau Subwatershed Report, please visit the RVCA website at www.rvca.ca. Inside 1.
