Key Insight
Over time there has been a shift in the Potential Acid Input from acidic to alkaline at nearly all sites. Sites closer to mineable oilsands are more alkaline due to an increase of dust in that area.
The nitrogen input from the Horse River Fire in 2016 led to more acidic conditions around Fort McMurray and to the southeast, following a similar path of the fire.
