Water quality characteristics of Lake Simcoe 1980

Abstract

The Ministry of the Environment and formerly the Ontario Water Resources Commission have conducted numerous studies of Lake Simcoe commencing in 1970. The Central Region of the Ministry of the Environment has monitored the water quality of Lake Simcoe since 1975. Between 1975 and 1979 three open water stations were sampled (K39, K42 and K45). In 1980, the program was altered and expanded. The three initial stations continued to be monitored plus an additional six lake stations and a station on the Holland River. This report summarizes the data collected during 1980.
