CANAL, the Canada and Newfoundland/Labrador Aqua Link is a web site which was built in partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment and Conservation. It's development has continued over the past three years.

Focused on the public delivery of ambient water quality information, the site provides dynamic access to station descriptions, data and metadata for over 100 shared water quality stations throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

Each year, new tasks and deliverables are identified at yearly water agreement meetings and subsequently appended to the existing Federal-Provincial Water Agreement. Much of the previous work has been supported through both CISE and GeoConnections and future work is proposed within the new ResEau project. Recent deliverables include station descriptions pages, the development of an automated water quality index calculator, provision of bacteriological information, dynamic charting, and the ability to download data directly from our envirodat database. Continued work on the automated WQI with the ability to do site specific analysis and user entered guidelines are among deliverables proposed within the ResEau project.
