"In this report are presented results from the examination of water samples, water-extracted sediments and organically extracted sediments from rivers and lakes in western Canada, to which the battery of tests approach was applied. Three basic study areas were chosen to reflect the wide variety of conditions which exist in the Canadian prairie provinces. These study areas included the Saskatchewan River System, the Qu'Appelle River System and the Churchill River diversion route in the Burntwood, Footprint and lower Nelson Rivers. Using a point ranking scheme, the sampling sites (water and sediments) were rated with the top five water and sediment sampling sites of greatest concern (or hot spots) being established by this analytical and ranking scheme"--Abstract.
