Observations

  • 8 August 2020

    Hunters Point Lake near School by Keith Benard

    Water depth was not recorded Secchi depth likely inaccurate as it was taken in the evening rather than midday Need to verify TDS, conductivity and pH values, suspect meter error as values seem high compared to historic data in this location.

  • 8 August 2020

    Jawbone's Bay by Paul Berube

    Water is clear. No pollen observed Wind at 15/21 KL/h. SW Some difficulty with secchi reading because of the wind. Difficult to keep the boat stable.

  • 7 August 2020

    Turtle Camp (Turtle Point) by John Stark

    Water clear, no particles. No boat traffic.

  • 7 August 2020

    Hunters Narrows by John Stark

    Water clear, no particles. No boat traffic.

  • 7 August 2020

    Turtle Chutes by John Stark

    Water clear, no particles. No boat traffic.

  • 2 August 2020

    Jawbone's Bay by Paul Berube

    Water is clear. Very small amounts of pollen in suspension Wind at 8 to 11 KL/h. E.

  • 31 July 2020

    Kipawa Lake by Christina Moreau

    Lots of camps nearby

  • 31 July 2020

    Kipawa lake by Baie Pike by Christina Moreau

    Camps, boats and a seagull nest along the shoreline Conductivity recorded as 736.2 mmHg - this is more likely the barometric pressure.

  • 31 July 2020

    Ottawa River off of Chem. Kipawa by Christina Moreau

    Lots of construction in the area Conductivity recorded as 774.1 but units were not recorded, previous data sheets had units as mmHg this reading is suspect so it was not included. It is likely the barometric pressure.

  • 28 July 2020

    Turtle Camp (Turtle Point) by John Stark

    Time was not recorded, 13:00 was entered as an approximate time. Water clear, no particles. No boat traffic.

  • 28 July 2020

    Hunters Narrows by John Stark

    Time of test was not recorded, 12:30pm was entered as an estimate. Water clear no particles.

  • 27 July 2020

    Turtle Chutes by John Stark

    Water clear, no particles.

  • 26 July 2020

    Jawbone's Bay by Paul Berube

    Winds at 9 to 40 kL/h W. I was sheltered from most of the wind during the secchi reading Overcast dark sky /dark out during secchi reading Less pollen in suspension

  • 23 July 2020

    Turtle Camp (Turtle Point) by John Stark

    Time was no recorded 15:00 was entered in as an estimate.

  • 23 July 2020

    Turtle Chutes by John Stark

    Water looks clear, no suspended particles. pH is very low, however I don't believe it was an issue with the meter as other locations tested the same day had pH values of 6.2.

  • 22 July 2020

    Ottawa River off of Chem. Kipawa by Christina Moreau

    Secchi disc reading likely isn't accurate due to flowing water Site is at a boat launch, right in front of Tembec (pulp and paper mill), heavy shoreline destruction. Water appears brown, two bridges close by. Conductivity value and units don't make sense - recorded as 744.3 mmHg. It is more likely the barometric pressure.

  • 22 July 2020

    Kipawa lake by Baie Pike by Christina Moreau

    Lots of cabins nearby, testing was done 100 feet from shoreline Conductivity value recorded as 736.6 mmHg?

  • 21 July 2020

    Lake Caugnawana near portage to Blue Lake by Keith Benard

    Very clear water Water depth was not recorded TDS and conductivity seem high compared to Kipawa

  • 20 July 2020

    Caugnawana Lodge Landing by Keith Benard

    Very clear water. Water depth not recorded. TDS and conductivity much higher than Kipawa.
