SUMMARY:Well Data Upload Training
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce a training session for our new data import tool. Matthew Fox from Strathcona Business and Technology Services has been working on this for the last six months and it’s ready to roll. We collect level data from numerous wells and a number of creeks and have been storing it online. This tool will allow us to begin to use the data by\, among other things\, loading it into ArcGIS and creating groundwater maps. \nMost of you will not have had any direct contact with this data but it’s important that lots of us are aware of this tool even if only a few of us ever actually use it. It should give you a greater understanding of where our groundwater program is headed. As well\, the training will touch on some Microsoft products available to us as a non-profit that may become useful as we continue to grow.

SUMMARY:POLIS Water Sustainability Project\,  6th Annual Water Research Roundup
DESCRIPTION:Creating a Blue Dialogue Webinar \nJoin us for our sixth annual Water Research Roundup\, featuring emerging researchers Rheanne Kroschinsky\, Sacha Ruzzante\, and Lucas King. They will discuss their current work on priority issues related to freshwater management and governance. \nThe speakers will explore governance and decision-making frameworks for community (source) watersheds in B.C.; how climate change and historic droughts are affecting streams and salmon on the west coast; and the intersection of sustainability and natural resources governance through a lens of relationship and responsibility to Treaty\, land\, and water. \nFollowing their presentations\, we will be joined by discussant Dr. Jon O’Riordan\, who will offer some remarks from his perspective as veteran researcher and policy advisor. An open Q&A will follow. \nUniversity of Victoria \nRegister:  HERE

SUMMARY:Mapping Trent River
DESCRIPTION:On March 6 & 7\, BWS will be part of a collaboration lead by Arin Yeomans-Routledge of Astraea Consulting.  The goal is to obtain current location and morphology data on the Trent River\, from shoreline to Hwy 19.  Volunteers will be out in chest waders walking the creek\, noting creek bed geology\, riparian status\, salmon access and obstructions\, and general terrain.  This information will be critical in understanding salmon access to spawning locations\, and for interpreting the results of our surface water monitoring.
