Abstract: A wide range of different territorial, federal, and first nation governments have a role in monitoring water. The water monitoring sites dataset compiles these varied sources into a single source with the intent to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ when searching for water monitoring data. Information contained includes the ‘who, what, when, and where’ of water monitoring by providing contact information, sample type, sample period, and location. Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon. Discover more digital map data and interactive maps from Yukon's digital map data collection.For more information: geomatics.help@yukon.ca
Purpose: A compilation of water monitoring locations across Yukon that is used to search for water data from a variety of sources.
