"Note: For the Red, Winnipeg and Saskatchewan rivers, water quality is considered good when water quality measurements exceed the river's nutrient criteria or objective less than 10% of the time (see Data sources and methods). A fair status is applied when the nutrient criteria or objective is exceeded 10% to 50% of the time. Poor status is applied when measurements are above the nutrient criteria or objective in over 50% of samples.",,,,
