Standardized Hydrometric Data Collection in Canada: The Career Development Program for Technician Training
High-quality, standardized data are required for the management of environmental resources. While responsibility for water resources in Canada rests with several levels of government, the federal government collects the bulk of hydrometric data through cost-share agreements designed to ensure standardization, monitoring effciencies, and national coverage. The framework used for the training of staff to collect these data is known as the Career Development Program for Hydrometric Technicians. It provides a structure for the hiring, training, work, and advancement of technicians. Its most important element is training through field and office instruction using comprehensive lesson packages and manuals. The hydrometric methods used in the lesson packages and manuals reflect standards developed in Canada, by other countries, and through international organizations. In the future, the program will be expanded to include water quality and other types of environmental data. Systematic, comprehensive technician training, as exemplified by the Career Development Program, is imperative to the successful operation of a national hydrological service and the management of resources.
