Climatology of coastal currents and temperatures in Western Lake Ontario : 1982-1992 / K.C. Miners ... [et al.].: En13-5/98-254E-PDF

Improvements in water purification, and wastewater treatment technology have, to some degree, offset the deleterious effects of increased development; however, current technologies are nearing their limit, and demands for clean water and suitable waste disposal locations continue to rise at an ever increasing rate. The western Lake Ontario shore from Bowmanville to Niagara-on-the-Lake is rapidly becoming one continuous urban community, still drawing drinking water from, and discharging effluent from sewage treatment plants into, a narrow near-shore band of lake a couple of kilometres wide"--Introd.
