The relationship between water quality and riparian zone land-use variables and macrophyte removal permits issued in between 2013-2020 in the Rideau Canal Waterway
Abstract:In the Rideau Canal Waterway, eastern Ontario, residents are required to obtain permits from Parks Canada for macrophyte removal in front of their property for recreational purposes. The goal of this thesis is to determine the strongest environmental predictors of permit number and density in the Rideau Waterway to promote sustainable management of this system. Multiple linear regression models indicated that the best predictors of permit number were percent crop and pasture in the catchment, Secchi depth, alg… Show more
