Matrix Solutions Inc. 2013. Guidance document for hydrometric, climate and water quality monitoring design. Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. February 2013. |
| Resource Purpose |
The purpose of this document is to provide best management practice guidance for operators and practitioners that are implementing hydrometric, climate and water quality monitoring programs. It is not intended to be a compliance or regulatory document. However, the benefit of adhering as closely as possible to the recommendations is to ensure that appropriate, scientifically rigourous and defensible environmental data is collected, irrespective of project scale or type of monitoring program. A summary of the key components that should be considered in designing effective monitoring programs in the shale gas industry in Western Canada is
provided below. Detailed information is contained in a companion report prepared for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers Shale Gas Water Technical Committee (Matrix Solutions 2012). |
