The way of Non-point source pollution in the Great Lakes • Atmospheric precipitation Many contaminants settle out of the atmosphere, such as acid rain, the pollutants and nutrients will transport from distant places by air depositing into the lake as the form of rain. The first pollutants as atmospheric deposition on the Great Lakes were phosphorus. It is found that about 20 percent phosphorus entering Lake Michigan comes from the atmosphere by determination of rain, snow and dust. Since phosphorus

builder, Alfred Winter, cut a road through to Blackstone Lake in the 1890s to make the muskellunge more accessible. Mr. Winter was the local postmaster till the railway was put in by Lake Joseph to Parry Sound. Later he renamed it Gordon House after his admiration of the famous General Gordon who was killed in 1885 in Khartoum. The following are excerpts from many write-ups on fishing, especially for muskie, on Blackstone Lake, before the lake was too civilized and fished. Years are boldfaced for convenience

various animals. The drawings were often harsh, pointed and brilliantly coloured. Common types of art The Aztec Empire contained a rich diversity of art. Their clothing, architecture, ceremonial knives and headdresses, were ornamented with a range of jewels and feathers. Art was commonly used to write in pictures. Pictographs usually illustrated priest sacrifices or latest battles. (Sources C and E) are about ‘Human Sacrifice’ and ‘Spanish Siege of Tenochtitlan’. They evidently show the Aztecs attention

Lake Winnipeg, the last remains of glacial Lake Agassiz, is the 10th largest lake in the world by surface area. It lies on the boundary between the Interior Plains and the Southwestern Canadian Shield. Up to five and a half million people rely on the health of Lake Winnipeg. The lake is an economic powerhouse that supports a $100 million a year tourism industry and a $25 million a year fishing industry (Halter, 2007). Furthermore, more than 23,000 permanent residents live in 30 communities along

water bodies (lakes), are made of rock, gravel, or sand. The oligotrophic water bodies are home to smallmouth bass, lake trout, pike, sturgeon and whitefish. Eutrophic bodies of water have higher nutrient levels, which causes poor light penetration. There is low dissolved oxygen and shallow water. This all causes higher algal growth. The bottom of the lakes are made of silt, sand or clay. Carp, bullheads or catfish can be found in the lakes. Eutrophication is a serious concern for lakes as it can

Whoosh! I can still see the moment he hit the water. The moment sometimes plays in my head like it happened in real life slow motion. I knew I would never forget it. You should know a few things about me before you read about the best day of my life. Before today I thought that if I didn’t start stressing about my future, I would never end up getting anywhere. This is the day everything changed. AAAHHHH!! That morning started like any other, my small obnoxious mutt of a dog licking my

History of the Phosphorus Issue in the Great Lake Back to the history, the eutrophication problem was first time concerned by public on Great lakes at the 1960s, the Lake Erie was covered by algae as a result of over dumped phosphorus from the sewage and other waste water, at that time, the Lake Erie was known as the “Dead Sea of North America”(Fitzpatrick, J. J., and Di Toro 1999). The reason cause this problem can be concluded in 2 points, 1. the stresses of overfishing, 2. development of phosphorus-based

many Oregonians have it as their license plate. That little picture on the license plate of course being Crater Lake; the ninth deepest lake in the United States (Reichemann). Crater Lake formed thousands of years ago due to a mountain erupting. Throughout the National Park we could see remains of rocks and minerals from the explosion. Crater Lake is one of the nicest and monumental lakes throughout the Pacific North West. About 7,700 years ago, Mount Mazama erupted on itself after building upon

The Great Lakes, including Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, are the largest freshwater lakes in the world, accounts for about 18% of the world 's fresh water resources. They are rich in water and other resources and the area of the Great Lakes extend more than 1200 km. The storage capacity of Great Lakes is about 23000 km3 and the surface area is around 244000 km2. Nowadays 1/10 of the Americans and a quarter of Canadians live in the lakes. Some of the world 's

sea level on the shore of Lake Titicaca. The village is also located 60 miles NW of the largest populous city in Bolivia of La Paz. Due to Lupalaya’s proximity to La Paz the village is greatly affected by the La Paz-El Alto concession which led to the privatization of water supply and sanitation. Introduction Bolivia is a landlocked country located in central South America. The village of Lupalaya is located five miles from the west-central border with Peru on shore of Lake Titicaca. The village is
