Article body
The lakes that make up the Qu'Appelle River system have a Secchi disc transparency that ranges from 0.9 m to 2.1 m. The salinity of the lakes varies between them due to different run-offs that feed into the different lakes, increasing the concentration of magnesium, sulphate and chloride. The concentration of these molecules decreased in the lakes that were more downstream. The lakes cover in ice for approximately five months in the year.
