| abstract | Community Based Water Monitoring (CBWM) is a cost-effective and scientifically rigorous method to collect medium and long-term water quality monitoring data at the watershed scale. Public sector organizations with responsibilities for water monitoring should develop long-term (5-year), core funding programs for CBWM activities to complement Canada’s environmental observation system of systems. The Canada Water Agency is a candidate to coordinate and oversee a horizontal initiative to connect water monitoring organizations at federal, provincial/territorial, and local levels to minimize redundancy and enhance data interoperability. |
