Location of GWFO instrumented field sites and the major river basins they are situated within across Canada.
GWFO's instrumented sites are a network of maintained water observation sites in lakes, rivers, ponds, wetlands, drainage ways, and upland areas across Canada.  These are sites that collect continuous and/or intermittent in situ measurements of hydro-meteorological conditions, water quality/quantity, ecological/biological parameters, contaminants, or other water-related variables.  A number of the sites are long-term water observatories that have records going back 20, 30, or in some cases 50+ years, making them invaluable for the monitoring and detection of hydrological and water quality changes, and for developing in-depth understanding of the physical and biological responses to climate change and human pressures.  Other sites have been established more recently and included in the network, but contribute important and targeted observations in remote, data-sparse, or poorly monitored/poorly understood regions.

These sites are available for field visits and scientific or operational use by partners and interested users, following consultation with the facility lead(s)/liaison(s) and agreement to certain terms, and, if necessary, approval of the Strategic Management Committee.  Data from the sites are made freely accessible, subject to some terms and conditions (see our data policy).
