Physical processes in western Lake Ontario affecting sustainable water use / K. C. Miners ... [et al.].: En13-5/02-176E-PDF
"The western Lake Ontario shore is rapidly becoming one continuous urban community that heavily depends on the lake for water and discharge of wastewater. Population and development estimates predict that by the year 2011 the Region of Halton will require enhanced capacity of wastewater treatment facilities. In order to maintain the permissible effluent limits, an outfall has been proposed to be installed in the lake. Substantial advances have been made in regulating the outfall locations and permissible effluent quality, however, the ever increasing total volumes of wastewater heighten the need to understand coastal physical processes in more detail due to the complexities introduced by basin shape and bathymetry at the western end of the lake. Historical data show high variability of flow with frequent occurrences of stagnation of currents. In consideration of these water quality concerns and with a long-term interest in sustainable use of nearshore waters, the National Water Research Institute (NWRI) undertook a comprehensive study of physical characteristics of the coastal areas of the western Lake Ontario"--Abstract.
