Abstract: Haslam Lake and Lang Creek, located just west of Powell River on the Sunshine Coast, are within a multiple-use community watershed that currently provides drinking water for approximately 20,000 people of Powell River and Brew Bay.

The British Columbia Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection (MWLAP) hired Aquatic Informatics Inc. to complete an investigative study on the watershed. The objectives of this study were to: 1.
