About
The Tawatinaw River watershed covers an area of approximately 746 km2 and is balanced by forests, wetlands, and agriculture. This group brings together landowners, community organizations, and nature lovers to meet, discuss, and participate in projects ocurring in the region. The Tawatinaw Watershed begins at Helliwell Lake before flowing north to meet the Athabasca River at the Town of Athabasca.
Water testing protocol
We are following the Water Rangers water testing protocol. We currently have 5 water testing kits and our goal is to have at least 3 sites regularly sampled in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the watershed. We encourage our citizen scientists to follow the recomended minimum sampling on the last weekend of every month. If their curiosity is peaked, during long periods of heat or after heavy rain are also great times for additional samples.
