The Lives of Lake Ontario
Author: Daniel Macfarlane
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228023041
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Lake Ontario has profoundly influenced the historical evolution of North America. For centuries it has enabled and enriched the societies that crowd¬ed its edges, from fertile agricultural landscapes to energy production systems to sprawling cities. In The Lives of Lake Ontario Daniel Macfarlane details the lake’s relationship with the Indigenous nations, settler cultures, and modern countries that have occupied its shores. He examines the myriad ways Canada and the United States have used and abused this resource: through dams and canals, drinking water and sewage, trash and pollution, fish and foreign species, industry and manufacturing, urbanization and infrastructure, population growth and biodiversity loss. Serving as both bridge and buffer between the two countries, Lake Ontario came to host Canada’s largest megalopolis. Yet its transborder exploitation exacted a tremendous ecological cost, leading people to abandon the lake. Innovative regulations in the later twentieth century, such as the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreements, have partially improved Lake Ontario’s health. Despite signs that communities are reengaging with Lake Ontario, it remains the most degraded of the Great Lakes, with new and old problems alike exacerbated by climate change. The Lives of Lake Ontario demonstrates that this lake is both remarkably resilient and uniquely vulnerable.

Great Lakes Diversions and Consumptive Uses
Author: International Joint Commission
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Diversion structures (Hydraulic engineering)
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
"This Report of the International Joint Commission concerning diversions and consumptive uses of Great Lakes water has been prepared in response to a reference from the Governments of Canada and the United States, dated February 21, 1977, and continues the Commission's long involvement in Great Lakes water quantity issues, which first emerged through concern about lake levels... The Commission's Report on the reference is in two parts. Part One examines the effects of existing diversions, the potential to improve extremes in Great Lakes levels by changing existing diversion flow rates, and existing and projected consumptive uses in the Great Lakes basin. Part Two provides a broader and more appropriate context within which to address the longer-term prospects for the use of Great Lakes water."--Executive summary.
