Description

The former Water Quality Control Branch (WQCB) operated a number of deposition collectors around the province to determine the aeolian deposition rates of various substances to lakes. This deposition program was implemented in 1982 as part of the Wabamun Lake Eutrophication Study. Nine deposition collectors operated between 1982-86. The nine collectors were located at Nakamun East, Nakamun West, Dickson North, Dickson South, Smoke, Iosegun, and three collectors at Lake Wabamun: Wabamun (west of village, Seba (Jackpine Creek) and the Fish and Wildlife compound near Fallis.
