Emma Lake Action & Understanding

April 2019

The NSRBC is currently working on a project entitled “Emma Lake Action and Understanding”. The project's aim is to help mitigate the impacts negatively affecting water quality at Emma Lake, primarily nutrient loading. The NSRBC is partnering with Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the District of Lakeland on the project, which has been underway since April 2019 and will continue until March 2021.

One main piece of the project will collect and analyze water quality data from Emma Lake to examine how erosion, boating activity, and other shoreline activities impact the lake. The other piece of the project will involve nine shoreline restoration projects and an education campaign to engage Emma Lake users on how they can reduce their impact on the lake. With this funding as of this spring, this project will enhance the water quality monitoring and promote and undertake shoreline restoration and educational projects.
