Characterize and re-define aquatic habitats. Aquatic habitat, water quality, flora, and fauna of the aquatic systems in the development area are typical of those found in the oil sands region
Resource
Water quality of the Athabasca River within the oil sands area has been monitored since 1976. Several studies of benthic invertebrate communities have been conducted to provide descriptive information

Report overviews major water quality patterns and trends for the Athabasca River and its major tributaries from 1970 to 1985 and compares water quality data with surface water quality objectives
Resource
This report identifies historical, annual and open water, low flow sequences for 13 stations in the Athabasca River Basin which can be used to determine management guidelines for the River basin
Resource
Reviews what is currently known of fish ecology and production of the Athabasca Basin, and includes discussions of fish production, sport and commercial use of fish populations

Seasonal fluctuations in algal species and numbers were influenced by a myriad of interacting factors as were standing crop fluctuations. Numerically, cyanophycean algae dominated, followed by diatoms

Goals of this investigation were to describe the present hydrologic and sediment regimes and to predict the consequences of surface disturbances which precede oil sands mining using runoff plots.

Resource
Monthly flows are provided for the period 1912 to 1980 at 21 locations on the Athabasca River and its major tributaries. The flow data sets are suitable for water management planning
Resource
Nearly 76% of all water used in the basin in 1981 was obtained from the river, 22% from major tributaries and other surface sources, and the remaining 2% from groundwater
