Living Lakes Canada launches app to protect B.C. parks

A national non-profit organization has developed a monitoring system to understand the impacts of our changing environment on water quantity and quality in Kokanee Glacier Park.

Living Lakes Canada says loggers for monitoring have been installed in Sapphire Lakes, Tanal Lake and Upper Joker Lake to track changes in water levels.
