Synthesises results from research and monitoring studies undertaken to characterise nutrient loading from all point and diffuse sources in northern Alberta river basins. Also evaluates the impacts of nutrient loading on river chemistry, assesses the response of riverine biota to nutrient loading from pulp mill and municipal effluents, quantifies nutrient responses of benthic biota, and investigates interactions between nutrients and contaminants in pulp mill effluents on food webs. The findings are used to assess the state of aquatic ecosystem health and to develop scientific and management recommendations for the northern river basins.
The NTBS was designed to address the ecological concerns about pulp mill expansion, and to increase scientific knowledge about environmental conditions [ecology, ecosystem sustainability, water pollution and control, habitat, effect on fish and fishing, etc.] in the major river systems of the north. The study's objectives were to gather and interpret sound scientific information about the basins, develop appropriate recommendations for basin management, and communicate effectively with the public. The government response report confirms the governments' commitment to ecosystem sustainability and to pollution control in northern rivers. First Nations and Metis aboriginal [native] peoples contributed significantly to the NRBS.

The Northern River Basins Study was established to examine the relationship between industrial, municipal, agricultural and other developments and the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River basins. Over 4 1/2 years about 150 projects or 'mini studies' were contracted by the Study under eight component categories including contaminats, drinking water, nutrients, traditional knowledge, hydrology / hydraulics, synthesis and modelling, food chain and other river uses.

Natural resource accounts provide useful information for integrated resource management through the identification of both market & non-market values. This report begins with a review of previous studies investigating the theory & application of natural resource accounting. It then presents a natural resource accounting case study for the Foothills Model Forest region of Alberta that details value estimates for market components (forestry, trapping, agriculture, minerals, visitor-related industries, & the rest of the economy) & non-market components (recreation, subsistence resource use, environmental control services such as carbon sequestration, and biodiversity maintenance). The resulting natural resource account represents a baseline of values that can be used to assess the progress of Weldwood of Canada Ltd. toward specific objectives related to resource management goals.
This bibliography contains references to government and industry reports, journal articles, databases and other sources of information on instream nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations and loading, nutrient sources, and the effects of nutrient loading on the benthic communities and sediment oxygen demand within the three northern rivers of the study: the Athabasca, Peace and Slave rivers. A few references from outside the study area have been included because of the relevance of their findings. Each reference consists of the author, date, title, journal/book, publisher, annotation and key words. This bibliography contains 134 references in total.
