| Abstract: | In planning a monitoring strategy to quantify the present chemical status of a population of lakes in regions susceptible to the effects of acidic deposition, a decision must be made regarding the number and locations of the lakes to be monitored. Statistical methods provide the bases for making a satisfactory decision by utilizing historical information available about the characteristics of the population of lakes. We present the statistical issues involved in making the decision and present examples using LRTAP data from Quebec. |
