Lake Winnipeg Foundation is working with community members to collect data that will inform water quality policy and practices. A new app will allow citizen scientists to record and upload metadata from water samples they’ve collected and link to laboratory analysis. This app will connect with existing data repositories including DataStream and the University of Manitoba’s Canadian Watershed Information Network to enable a shared strategy in the region and nationally. This project will benefit lake-lovers, citizen volunteers, educational institutions, conservation partners, farmers and landowners to impellent best practices and it will influence government decision makers in policy development for a healthier environment.
