1 Rags to Riches - The RVCA Story of Science to Stewardship Subwatershed Reporting
2 Monitor Act and Engage Analyze Report
3 Subwatershed Reporting Overview Content of reports Users Monitor Act and Engage Analyze Report
4 History Traditional watershed plans (long, slow, and labour intensive) with a low ROI Wanted a new approach that would help highlight the monitoring work done by the RVCA A vehicle for the authoritative information for the watershed
5 RVCA Approach RVCA is a large watershed (4200km 2 ) and is made up of 6 subwatersheds Focus on one subwatershed per year and work through in a 6 year cycle Two products: Subwatershed Report and Catchment Report
6 RVCA Approach Subwatershed Report: Big picture at a reasonable scale Data Catchment Report More details at a more local scale
7 Done to Date Five subwatershed reports done for the Middle Rideau, Lower Rideau, Jock River and Tay River; Kemptville Creek 58 catchment reports completed for the same five subwatersheds Rideau Lakes to be released February 2015 (8 more catchment reports)
8 Map showing every watershed
9 Reports draw from: RVCA Monitoring Programs Surface Water Quality Baseline/Watershed Watch Macro-Stream/Benthic Invertebrate Hydrometric RVCA Land Cover Classification RVCA Departmental Input Conservation Lands, Planning and Regulations, Stewardship, Watershed Science Municipal Input Agency Input
10 Monitoring and Science Content Scientifically developed field surveys and methods from RVCA s Watershed Watch (Lake Partners), Baseline Monitoring (PWQN), Macro-Stream Assessment (OSAP), Benthic Invertebrate (OBBN) and Land Cover Classification Programs Rigorous data analysis and extensive reporting prepared by RVCA technical staff (in areas of surface water quality, shoreline and instream aquatic habitats and forest/wetland ecology) using established protocols (CCME WQI, PWQO, FBI, SOLRIS)
11 Subwatershed Report State of the Environment Indicators (5) Water Quality Forest Cover Wetland Cover Shorelines Water Levels (new)
12 Example of Subwatershed Report Water Quality Forest Cover
13 Example of Subwatershed Report Wetlands Shorelines Wetland Cover by Catchment Shoreline Cover by Catchment
14 Example of Subwatershed Report Kemptville Creek Average Flows
15 Example of Subwatershed Report Kemptville Creek Peak Flows
16 Catchment Report: What it Contains Catchment Facts Analysis of Conditions Surface Water Quality Riparian Conditions Shoreline and Instream Land Cover Stewardship/Catchment Protection Facts Resource Management Issues/Opportunities for Action
17 Catchment Report Catchment Facts General Geography Physical Geography Vulnerable Areas Development Trends Conditions at a Glance Catchment Care

21 Catchment Report Riparian Restoration Water Chemistry
22 Catchment Report Land Cover Woodland Cover Forest Interior Wetland Cover
23 Catchment Report Stewardship and Protection Rural Clean Water Projects Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Projects Stream, Wetland and Hazard Land Regulation Wellhead Protection Area
24 Catchment Report: Issues and Opportunities for Action Issues E.g., Surface water quality rating is Fair but has declined at three of four site monitoring sites through the Town Opportunities for Action E.g., Investigate cause of reported decline (from Good to Fair ) in the surface water quality rating through the Town to determine the source
25 Report Users: Landowner Uses Seeing environmental conditions on/around their property Understanding cause/effect of water/land resource management activities Informing better land/water resource management decisions NGO Uses Knowing/understanding local environmental conditions Identifying opportunities for community action/landowner projects
26 Users Municipal Uses Understanding municipal environmental conditions Reviewing land-use planning/development applications Providing input to Official Plans/Zoning By-laws Setting priorities for land use change/expansion and infrastructure renewal Land Development/Developer Uses Knowing environmental constraints on/around a site Informing better land-use/development decision-making
27 Users: RVCA Reviewing planning and regulations applications Acquiring Conservation Lands Informing municipalities about watershed conditions and RVCA projects/services Gauging effectiveness of watershed management policies, practices and projects Targeting stewardship applications (tree planting, shoreline naturalization and rural clean water projects) Restoring aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration
