A preliminary assessment of water quality and biota in the Serpentine and Nicomekl Rivers and Mahood Creek, 1974-75 / by S. Bourque and G. Hebert.: En40-240/82-17E-PDF

"A program of regular sampling for 16 routine water quality parameters; bottom macrointervertebrate populations; periphyton populations, biomass and pigment content; and levels of various metals in fish flesh was undertaken on Mahood Creek and the Serpentine and Nicomekl Rivers from June 1974 until November 1975. Salmonid populations in these streams could be harmed if intensive farming practices in the lowlands and increased urbanization in the uplands is not managed to protect water quality and maintain adequate water flows"--Abstract, page i.
