DYNAMIC SUPPLY FROM COMMON PROPERTY RESOURCE: WATER DIVERSIONS FROM THE GREAT LAKES

Great Lakes Resource at Risk

Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acid soils is a major limitation to the production of alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa L.) in the USA. Developing Al-tolerant alfalfa cultivars is one approach to overcome this constraint. Accessions of wild diploid alfalfa (M. sativa subsp. coerulea) have been found to be a source of useful genes for Al tolerance. Previously, two genomic regions associated with ...

The Food Supply of the Fish in the Great Lakes

Natural displacement of pollution from the great lakes.

A simplified mathematical model of a lake system indicates that, if the pollution of the Great Lakes were discontinued, the natural flow through the lower Great Lakes would be sufficient to remove about 90 per cent of the waste in about 20 years. On the other hand, hundreds of years would be required to displace the pol lution from Lake Michigan and Lake Superior.

The importance of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) may not be known by most people on either side of the US–Canadian border, but it is important. The International Joint Commission (IJC), the US– Canadian body that advises both governments on issues around the boundary waters is also an important organization, but not well known. The article by Gilbertson and Watterson raises questions about the p...
