Water chemistry composition for 34 lakes in Ontario (2006, 2012, 2014-2016)

This file contains a compilation of lake water chemistry data collected by Dr. Shelley Arnott's laboratory and processed at the Dorset Environmental Science Centre http://desc.ca/ The data spans the following years: 2006, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016. For information about sample collection and processing, please consult: http://desc.ca/sites/default/files/DESCSubmissionUserManual.pdf The methods have been described in the report by Girard R. E. et al. (2007), history of chemical, physical, and biological methods, sample locations and lake morphometry for the Dorset Environmental Science Centre (1973-2006). This report describes the chemical, physical and biological sample collection methods used in the investigations of lakes and watersheds by staff of the Dorset Environmental Science Centre (DESC, formerly the Dorset Research Centre) for the period 1973 to 2006.
