Macroinvertebrate Biomonitoring: Small Creatures, Big Impacts - Watersheds Canada – Work, Live & Play in Healthy Lakes and Rivers
Biomonitoring involves using living creatures (bioindicators) to determine changes in water quality. It is especially important in rivers in streams, where rapid changes in hydrology make typical water quality measurements less indicative than in still waters. This blog post provides an in-depth overview of macroinvertebrate biomonitoring and provides you some options for you to get involved in this important endeavour yourself.
