Alpha diversity (rarefied to 10 stations, with error bars indicating standard error) of river benthic macroinvertebrates plotted as a function of the average latitude of stations in each hydrobasin. Hydrobasins are coloured based on country/region State of the Arctic Freshwater Biodiversity Report - Chapter 4 - Page 68 - Figure 4-32

Results of circumpolar assessment of river benthic macroinvertebrates, indicating (a) the location of river benthic macroinvertebrate stations, underlain by circumpolar ecoregions; (b) ecoregions with many river benthic macroinvertebrate stations, colored on the basis of alpha diversity rarefied to 100 stations; (c) all ecoregions with river benthic macroinvertebrate stations, colored on the basis of alpha diversity rarefied to 10 stations; (d) ecoregions with at least two stations in a hydrobasin, colored on the basis of the dominant component of beta diversity (species turnover, nestedness, approximately equal contribution, or no diversity) when averaged across hydrobasins in each ecoregion.

Figure 3-2 Long-term water temperature trends (1970–2017) for the Utsjoki Nuorgam station in the River Tana (69°N in Finland). The diagram shows the number of days per year with a mean temperature exceeding 5°C. The data show that from 1995 to 2017, this indicator increased by over 0.5 days per year.

This theme presents the index of water health along the banks of the St. Lawrence River. It makes it possible to determine if the sites present risks to human health and if they are suitable for swimming. These data are the result of an exploratory monitoring program that aims to raise awareness among the population and local actors about the possible reopening of bathing sites that have good potential. This program also makes it possible to highlight any improvement in bacteriological quality resulting from the reduction of wastewater overflows during rainy weather or resulting from the installation of disinfection equipment.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Linear data representing the interpretation of accessible shores of public property (municipal or governmental) in the agglomeration of Montreal carried out using the land roll. This data is approximate and does not determine the actual shoreline within the meaning of the [Shoreline, Coastal and Floodplain Protection Policy] (https://www.environnement.gouv.qc.ca/eau/rives/index.htm). Accessibility can be by land and/or by water and there may or may not be development. The shores of inland waterways are not included, with the exception of the Lachine and Aqueduct canals. Although it has evolved, thanks to the expansion of shoreline parks, among others, this data was initially produced for the calculation of an indicator of the state of the environment in the first strategic sustainable development plan of the Montreal community.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The lightweight web app shows the locations of several river and lake stations where water levels and/or flow data are collected in Manitoba. The web map shows the locations of several river and lake stations where water levels and/or flow data are collected. When you click on a location on this map, a pop-up box will appear.  The pop-up box contains various water level and/or flow data, as well as forecast information. Please note these conditions regarding the information contained in the pop-up boxes:The information on this map is updated daily at 1:00 pm during the spring runoff period, based on water levels and flows collected earlier in the morning.  The water levels and flows should be considered preliminary data as they could be affected by ice, wind, or monitoring equipment malfunctions. While the department undertakes due diligence in utilizing this data, final quality control checked data is published by Water Survey of Canada, our main data provider, after the spring runoff.  Forecasted peak information is the most recent data available. Forecasts are evaluated daily and any updates are included in the Daily Flood Sheets and the Flood Report; both of these are available on the Manitoba Flood Forecast website. If the updated forecasts will not be available until later in the afternoon, the forecasted peak information in the pop-up boxes will be from yesterday’s Daily Flood Sheets.Pop-up boxes include the following information: Station Name: station name where the water level and/or flow data are collected Station ID: unique identifier for the station Flood Alert: indicates if the current water level is over the flood stage, over the river bank but below the flood stage, or below the river bank.  Last Update: date that water level and/or flow data was collected  Flow: measured or calculated flow in cubic feet per second  Level: measured water level in feet  Forecasted Flow: the forecasted peak flow in cubic feet per second Forecasted Level: the water level at the forecasted peak in feet Peak Date: date when the peak is forecasted to occur Flood Stage (dike level) (ft): the water level (ft) at which flow overtops community flood protection dike-structures Bankfull Capacity - flow (cfs): the approximate flow (in cubic feet per second) when the water level is at the top of the bank  Bankfull Capacity - level (ft): the water level (in feet)  when the water is at the top of the bank Reference Years:  years when the peak water levels were similar to the forecasted peak water level this year“Flood Alert” definitions:  Flood Warning: A flood warning is issued when water levels are above or expected to be above channel capacity within the next 24 hours, resulting in minor to major flooding. Water is beyond the channel capacity and expected to flood adjacent areas, agricultural fields and/or infrastructure in the area.  High Water Advisory / Flood Watch: A high water advisory is issued when water levels are above seasonal levels. A High Water Advisory can be an early indicator for conditions that may develop into a Flood Watch. A flood watch is issued when water levels are nearing channel capacity, but not expected to reach channel capacity within the next 24 hours. Minor to no flooding is expected at these levels, but water may begin to overflow into nearby low-lying marshland, parkland or floodplain areas with little to no impact. A Flood Watch can be an early indicator for conditions that may develop into a Flood Warning.   Above Community Flood Protection Level: Water levels are above or projected to be above the community dike levels within 24 hours, causing major flooding.
