The regional lake survey for northwestern Saskatchewan (Parts of NTS 74N and 74O) was conducted during the summer of 1993 .

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 35 elements in stream sediments from 1 139 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 12.1 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
