Summary

Conclusions:Random camping and off-highway vehicles have impacted water quality in the Ghost-Waiparous basin of Alberta. Sediment loading coefficients in the lower regions of the Waiparous and Ghost rivers were much greater than would be expected in rivers draining a similar forested environment in the upper foothills of southern Alberta and were even greater than loading coefficients in streams draining agricultural lands at lower elevations where sediment erosion is a common problem.Thresholds/Learnings:
