Temperatures and currents in western Lake Ontario, June-November, 1984 / by T.J. Simons ... [et al.].: En13-5/85-158E-PDF
"Due to the dense population and industrialization around the western shoreline of Lake Ontario, the local nearshore zone is affected by numerous effluent discharges while at the same time being heavily utilized as a source of drinking water. An important natural phenomenon influencing the response of the lake to these man-made stresses is the tendency of coastal currents to align themselves with the shoreline. As a consequence, contaminants injected into the shallow coastal waters move primarily back and forth along the shore rather than out into the open lake, thus tending to affect nearby water intakes. In view of the potential hazards of this situation, a field program was organized to study the physical and biochemical characteristics of the western basin of Lake Ontario. This report presents an analysis of the physical measurements to provide background information for studies of water quality and contaminants in this basin"--Exec. summary.
