Book excerpt: To manage its human & financial resources, the International Joint Commission establishes priorities based on advice it receives from its advisory boards. This report lists Commission priorities for 1997-99 and defines & describes specific investigations undertaken to support each priority in chapters prepared by four advisory groups. Findings, conclusions, and recommendations arising from these investigations are also presented. Chapter 1 is from the Great Lakes Science Advisory Board and covers such matters as critical pollutants, water quality criteria, remedial action plans, non-point pollution sources, and emerging issues. Chapter 2 is from the Great Lakes Water Quality Board, covering such topics as environmental protection, regulating point sources, contaminated sediment, and impacts of aquaculture. Chapter 3 reviews findings from status assessments & other initiatives related to human health. Chapter 4, from the Indicators Implementation Task Force, reviews activities to investigate environmental indicators that could be used to monitor progress under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Chapter 5, from the Great Lakes Council of Research Managers, summarizes activities related to identification of research needs & priorities. The last chapter is from the International Air Quality Advisory Board and includes a review of air contaminant modelling research and a summary of an air quality workshop.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the progress made by federal and Ontario government agencies & their partners since the Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA) Respecting the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem was signed in July 1994. The COA provides the framework for systematic & strategic coordination of shared federal & provincial responsibilities for environmental management in the Great Lakes basin, & of Canadian efforts to fulfil Canada's obligations under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA). The report documents progress made in domestic programs, but also in joint Canada-United States activities related to the GLWQA. It discusses restoration of degraded areas (remedial action plans, capital works, species & habitat rehabilitation, contaminated sites or sediments, groundwater, human health), prevention & control of pollution (priority toxic substances, hazardous waste & spills, pesticides, binational initiatives, atmospheric deposition), and conservation & protection of human & ecosystem health (lakewide planning, habitat conservation & protected areas, fish & wildlife conservation, human health, climate change, & land & water use management).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water quality concerns are not new to the Great Lakes. They emerged early in the 20th century, in 1909, and matured in 1972 and 1978. They remain a prominent part of today's conflicted politics and advancing industrial growth. The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909, became a model to the world for environmental management across an international boundary. Evolution of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement recounts this historic binational relationship, an agreement intended to protect the fragile Great Lakes. One strength of the agreement is its flexibility, which includes a requirement for periodic review that allows modification as problems are solved, conditions change, or scientific research reveals new problems. The first progress was made in the 1970s in the area of eutrophication, the process by which lakes gradually age, which normally takes thousands of years to progress, but is accelerated by modern water pollution. The binational agreement led to the successful lowering of phosphorus levels that saved Lake Erie and prevented accelerated eutrophication in the rest of the Great Lakes ecosystem. Another major success at the time was the identification and lowering of the levels of toxic contaminants that cause major threats to human and wildlife health, from accumulating PCBs and other persistent organic pollutants
Download or read book Transboundary Water Cooperation written by Patricia Wouters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China and its neighbours face a series of water security issues, in which international law plays a vital role. Paramount to both policymakers and researchers in the field of water law, the current status of transboundary water cooperation schemes and how these operate in China is of global significance. Grounded in international experience, this comprehensive volume provides readers with an up-to-date overview of current international transboundary water resource sharing policies and practices, including detailed case studies at both domestic and international levels. The authors discuss existing international laws, treaties, and principles that may stimulate transboundary water cooperation and dialogue, and then analyse a number of international experiences with treaties in North America, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. They take stock of China’s water resource issues, legal practices and options, examine case studies of China’s southern shared rivers, and explore some innovative approaches to cooperative management of shared waters within China. The articles in this book were originally published in the journal Water International.
