Conclusions:

Since no comparative data has been collected, it is not possible to draw any conclusions at this time. What is clear is that the Kesagami River from Kesagami Lake to James Bay is affected by a very large water shed, and further analysis of water chemistry of tributaries to the river is necessary. With such data, anomalies within the water shed could be detected and further investigated. If significant destructive water chemistry elements are discovered through analysis of tributaries on a second river descent in 2006, perhaps the boundaries of Kesagami Provincial Park must be reexamined.
