Since its inception in 2012, the Basin Society has collected a large body of technical data and literature,
which was required to develop the necessary scientific baseline of the Shawnigan Lake watershed
for the purposes of credible knowledge, good judgement, and long-term decision making.

Synthesis Reporting
Amalgamating approximately 30 documents to produce one comprehensive report
This informative paper, synthesized by SBS Director Dr. Linda Gregory, summarizes both historical and present land use literature pertaining to the Shawnigan Lake watershed while focusing on their hydrological implications. The paper closely examines water quality, lake limnology, water chemistry, and sediments.
