Funding Source:  Federal
Year of Collection:  1994

Survey Type:  Regional Stream Survey
# Lake sites:  0

The regional stream survey for Victoria Island, Northwest Territories and Nunavut (NTS 77G, 78B, 87E, 87H, 88A) was conducted during the summer of 1994.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 39 elements in stream sediments from 893 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 16.4 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
