This report, Phase 2 Component 2, is a bibliographic compilation of water-related monitoring programs and activities in the Expanded Geographic Extent prior to the implementation of the Integrated Monitoring Plan for the Oil Sands (Environment Canada and Alberta Environment 2011c). It comprises an information table of parameters sampled by the most relevant ongoing and historical programs and activities, annotated abstracts and descriptions of relevant programs and studies, notes on particularly relevant organizations, and maps of monitoring locations and other information, up to July 2011. This document is a bibliographic tool for locating sources of water quality information, providing a general roadmap to "who has measured what, when, and where?" within the Expanded Geographic Extent. It was not intended to collect or contain data. Although Component 2 was originally designed to cover only water quality and quantity (as in Phase 1), it was expanded to include readily accessible information on fish programs and benthic invertebrate monitoring in the Expanded Geographic Extent.

The most important tool in this document is Appendix 1, which includes specific information on parameters sampled by the major monitoring programs and other activities in the Expanded Geographic Extent region up to July 2011.
