"The Canadian Space Agency funded GRIP project ‘Wealth of Water’ aimed to integrate remote sensing imagery of aquatic colour, ground-based water quality and optical surveys and data-sets of terrestrial land use, in order to assess water quality of the lower Great Lakes and the interaction between water quality and activities within the watershed. Remote sensing of water quality, achievable through the application of optical models and algorithms to remotely-sensed aquatic colour data, provides a means of examining water quality conditions on a near-continuous and lake-wide basis offering the potential for timely support in the monitoring and mitigation of adverse ecosystem impacts from, for example, local event-driven processes such as storm plumes, or recurring processes such as algal blooms. ... The research being carried out under this study is the first of its kind to combine the state-of-the-art scientific methods developed at NWRI for the determination of watercolour from satellite imagery with the study of the impacts of extreme events on stream chemistry using non-point source models. The research has indicated that extreme events can impact drinking water intake zones over large areas of Lake Ontario, including the development of algal blooms. Land-based activities and events can now be related to specific water quality issues that occur over large scales in lakes"--Abstract.
