As stewards of the land, Kaska recognize that the health of our water is a key necessity for all living species. By monitoring and preserving good water quality we benefit the environment, protect against the devastating effects of climate change and biodiversity loss, and support the protection of water resources for future generations.

DKI has initiated several water monitoring programs, and we are appreciative of the partnerships that enabled Kaska Guardians to undertake this work.

• DKI partnered with the the Government of Yukon and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to undertake water monitoring at the Liard River as part of the Pacific-Yukon Water Quality Monitoring Network. The Agreement also enabled DNYD Guardians to participate in the Water Resources Branch (“WRB”) hydrometric monitoring of Tom Creek and to participate in WRB groundwater monitoring activities at established wells located in Watson Lake and Upper Liard. Through this partnership the DNYD Guardians received training in ice water and swift water rescue.
• DKI partnered with BC Government with respect to installation of temperature gauges at the Liard Hot Springs.
• DKI partnered with Living Lakes Canada, World Wildlife Fund and 
BC government regarding the CABIN work.
• Golden Predators provided training with DNYD at their exploration property.
