During various periods since the mid 70’s, inland lakes in the Severn Sound watershed, including Little Lake, Bass Lake, Farlain Lake, MacLean Lake, Lake Couchiching and Orr Lake have been the subject of water quality studies carried out by several agencies, including the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), consultants, academic researchers, the Town of Midland (Little Lake), and the SSEA.
Some lakes are also sampled through the MECP’s Lake Partner Program. More information on their website.
