Abstract
Many watercourses in Nova Scotia (Canada)
have recently had algal blooms in a surprisingly
increasing way in frequency and diversity without any
good understanding or explanation about causes and
effects. The blooms triggered in Mattatall Lake
(Wentworth, Nova Scotia) have many particular aspects:
toxic species domination, nutrients increasing on a
monthly basis, and blooms that co-exist with icy
conditions. In this paper, we suggest an approach to
create a map system with an appropriate interpolation
and validation of necessary data in order to deal with
this issue in Mattatall Lake and to contribute to the
analysis framework and management plan on the entire
area. Our long-term objective is aiming to suggest a
modeling process for the entire watershed.
