The regional lake survey for north-west Manitoba (NTS 64F) was conducted during the summer of 1984.
This report presents analytical and statistical data for 15 elements in lake sediments from 966 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 13 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
