About

My respect for water & water quality is strong. Living in the Bras d'Or Lakes Watershed, within easy walking distance of Middle River, we are able to observe its flow through our valley year round. My data collection spot is near our home on a point of land where Middle River meets MacRae Brook. Middle River is one of the rivers that flows into the Bras d'Or Lakes on Cape Breton Island and it is within the Bras d'Or Lakes Biosphere Region. We are especially interested in the water temperature of the river in the warmer months. It has been noted by many regular swimmers that Middle River is warmer in the summer months in recent years. The 'Water Ranger Freshwater Compact Kit' is a great source of tools to measure data, including quality, throughout the year.

Training

No formal training but I am grateful for the demo provided by the Bras d'Or Lakes Biosphere Region Association on using the 'Water Rangers Freshwater Compact Kit' testkit and look forward to entering data from this location.
