The Northern River Basins Study (NRBS), done in northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories, is different from initiatives such as the Fraser River Action Plan and the St. Lawrence Action Plan in that it does not have funding for cleanup activities. Instead, it has a mandate to conduct investigative science for the purpose of obtaining authoritative evidence on the state of the aquatic resources and the cumulative effects of industrial, municipal, and agricultural development. Recommendations from the Study will be used to guide future resource management actions (e.g., new regulations, cleanup, adoption of ecosystem health indicators), recognizing that all stakeholders have a role to play. 1, record 1, English, - Northern%20River%20Basins%20Study

L'Étude sur les bassins des rivières du Nord (EBRN), menée dans la partie septentrionale de l'Alberta et dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, diffère d'autres initiatives comme le Plan d'action du Fraser et le Plan d'action Saint-Laurent parce qu'elle ne comporte pas le financement d'activités d'assainissement. Elle a plutôt pour mandat de mener des recherches scientifiques dans le but d'obtenir des observations fiables sur l'état des ressources aquatiques et sur les effets cumulatifs du développement industriel, municipal et agricole. Les recommandations qui découleront de l'Étude seront utilisées pour orienter les mesures ultérieures de gestion des ressources (p. ex. nouveaux règlements, assainissement, adoption d'indicateurs de la santé des écosystèmes), d'une façon qui tienne compte du point de vue de tous les intervenants. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%89tude%20sur%20les%20bassins%20des%20rivi%C3%A8res%20du%20Nord
