The above graphs illustrate the various data collected on Little Kesagami River, Kesagami Lake, and Kesagami River. At each site, all four water chemistry components were sampled simultaneously and at identical locations.

Table 1. Data collected on Kesagami River, Kesagami Lake, and Little Kesagami River.

As indicated on figure 1. the Kesagami River water shed (from Kesagami Lake to James Bay) is roughly 160km North to South, by 55km East to West. The area of the water shed is nearly twice that of the entire province of Prince Edward Island. With a water drawing area of such vastness, the river is vulnerable to environmental impacts from water systems far exceeding the area of Kesagami Provincial Park.
