To learn more about sediment and water quality in Wabamun Lake and how it compares to other area lakes, Alberta Environment started several comprehensive studies of the lake in the summer of 2002, including assessments of differences in water quality across the lake, metals and trace organic contaminants in sediments, the significance of sediment quality to aquatic biota and the occurrence of disinfection by-products from the Wabamun Lake Water Treatment Plant. Additionally, a report summarizing the 20-year history of water quality of Wabamun Lake hasbeen compiled to provide a historical perspective on water quality of the lake.
