Abstract
The dataset contains calculated yearly road salt application within Lake Wilcox (Ontario, Canada) watershed, along with estimations on retention of the road salt within the watershed and amount of the road salt that is flushed to the receiving water (i.e., Lake Wilcox). Along with that, the dataset contain chloride and sodium concentrations for water column of Lake Wilcox. Data cover period 2001-2020.
