Since 1999, Manitoba Environment and Climate Change has been monitoring the health of Lake Winnipeg in partnership with the Lake Winnipeg Research Consortium, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Manitoba Hydro, and others. The objective of the provincial Lake Winnipeg water quality monitoring program is to better understand the lakes existing condition, to evaluate impacts to water uses (e.g., recreation, protection of aquatic life), and to assess long-term changes in ecosystem health. Results from annual long-term monitoring at 55 lake-wide stations will be shared, including tracking nutrient status of the lake, emerging contaminants, and how observations are scaled using satellite imagery.
