Dataset Title
Suspended sediment and turbidity data in the Saskatchewan River
Additional Information
Abstract
Total suspended solids data collected by filtering 200-500 mL of river water on to a pre-weighed 0.45 um filter paper that was then dried and re-weighed. Turbidity measured with a Lamotte turbidity meter. Sampling took place during the ice-free season at locations ranging from immediately below EB Campbell Dam to the community of Cumberland House in the Saskatchewan River Delta, approximately 100 km downstream.
Purpose
The suspended sediment and turbidity data will be used to support model development. This data was collected for the Global Water Futures project We need more than just water: Assessing sediment limitation in a large freshwater delta.
Plain Language Summary
Sediment gets trapped in reservoirs, failing to reach important downstream areas such as the Saskatchewan River Delta where it once acted as a builder of channels and fertilizer of wetlands. This dataset includes two measures of suspended sediment (total suspended solids and turbidity) measured at various locations downstream of EB Campbell Dam in the Saskatchewan River.
