  • Lower Main Saugeen Watershed
    Lower Main Saugeen Watershed CONSERVATION R E P O R T C A R D A report on the general condition of the Lower Main Saugeen Watershed 2013 Watershed Perspective 2007-2011 The Main Saugeen River downstream of Walkerton drains 908 square kilometres. This section of the river is 76 kilometres in length with an average gradient of 0.88 metres per kilometre. The main tributaries of the Lower Saugeen River include Mill Creek, Burgoyne Creek, Snake Creek, Vesta Creek, Pearl Creek, Deer Creek, Otter Creek, Willow Creek, and Silver Creek as well as numerous smaller unnamed streams. The watershed is predominantly agricultural but also includes the communities of Southampton, Mildmay, Paisley and Walkerton. The landscape is glacial in origin with the lower end of the watershed sand plain, clay plain and till plain. GRADES VERAGE A itions rest Cond Fo s D ondition etland C W ality B ater Qu urface W C S ality water Qu A Ground Surface Water Quality The Lower Main Saugeen River scores an average grade of 'C' for surface water quality, the same as the last report card. The average total phosphorus concentration is now below the provincial water quality objective of 0.03 mg/L and has improved from a 'C' to a 'B' grade. E. coli continues to fall below the recreational guidelines of 100 CFU/100mL maintaining a 'B' grade. The grade for benthic invertebrates, however, dropped from a 'C' to a 'D'. Changes in the benthic invertebrate community are seen as early indicators of deterioration in water quality that might not be seen in the chemistry results.
