The regional lake sediment and water survey for north-central Saskatchewan (parts of NTS 74A, 74B, 74G and 74H) was conducted during the summer of 1986.
This report presents analytical and statistical data for 17 variables in lake sediments from 1,286 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 14.3 km². Uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
