Benthic indices can represent a large amount of data and can bring forth patterns to be visible that would not have been
otherwise. It can manipulate the data more easily and with little training. It is also easier to compare
data against previous years which was used in this assessment of lake health. When assessing
Kashagawigamog Lake, a baseline was created with the lake data in order to analyze trends in lake
health and to compare water quality data between the different sites sampled. Benthic invertebrates
were sampled to determine lake health and water quality.
