The regional lake sediment and water survey for northeastern Saskatchewan (NTS 64E and parts of 74A and 74H) was conducted during the summer of 1984.
This report presents analytical and statistical data for 16 variables in lake sediments from 1,178 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 16.0 km². Uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
