Industrial Pollution in the Great Lakes Pollution within the Great Lakes region has been an issue since before the 1970s, when pollution in this area caused concern, resulting in the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the United States. This was in place to improve water quality of the Great Lakes region. However, we are still struggling with pollution in the Great Lakes- and all over the world. As countries develop, they become more industrial to meet high market demands of…

It’s no secret that Michigan is shaped by water simply due to the fact that it is surrounded by lakes on almost every border it has, but the rivers and lakes have more…

Dalhousie Lake Dalhousie Lake in Ontario, Canada is a very interesting place. it is located about two hours away from the Thousand Islands. The lake is about three miles long, and one mile wide.

As you are walking down the shore, feel the sand between your toes as you listen to the sound of waves crashing…
