The regional lake sediment and water survey of north-central Saskatchewan (parts of NTS 73O, 73P, 74A, 74B and 74C) was conducted during the summer of 1985.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 16 variables in lake sediments from 1,152 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.8 km². Uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
