Download or read book The Great Lakes Water Wars written by Peter Annin and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes are the largest collection of fresh surface water on earth, and more than 40 million Americans and Canadians live in their basin. Will we divert water from the Great Lakes, causing them to end up like Central Asia's Aral Sea, which has lost 90 percent of its surface area and 75 percent of its volume since 1960? Or will we come to see that unregulated water withdrawals are ultimately catastrophic? Peter Annin writes a fast-paced account of the people and stories behind these upcoming battles. Destined to be the definitive story for the general public as well as policymakers, The Great Lakes Water Wars is a balanced, comprehensive look behind the scenes at the conflicts and compromises that are the past-and future-of this unique resource.

Irbe and published by Environment Canada, Atmospheric Environment Service = Environnement Canada, Service de l'environnement atmosphérique. This book was released on 1992 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study to determine the normal structure of the Great Lakes surface water temperature field and the normal variability in the field throughout the year. Grid point temperature data were used to compute the daily normal temperature and variability through the year at the grid point locations. Daily mean temperature and standard deviation were computed for each of the days of the year, for every grid point and for each lake as a whole. The lake-wide daily mean temperature and standard deviation tables and the annual temperature curves are based directly on the results of the data analyses. The beginning-of-month and middle-of-month temperature/variability maps were constructed by plotting the computed grid point temperature and standard deviation values for the corresponding day and then contouring the temperature and variability patterns.

Download or read book The Late Great Lakes written by William Ashworth and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Late, Great Lakes is a powerful indictment of man's carelessness, ignorance, and apathy toward the Great Lakes. With the longest continuous coastline in the United States, they hold one-fifth of the world's freshwater supply. Author William Ashworth presents a compelling history of the Great Lakes, from their formation in the Ice Age, to their "discovery" by Samuel de Champlian in 1615, and, finally, to their impending death in our time. Ashworth systematically deals with the wild life that once flourished in the region-beaver, salmon, whitefish, and trout-and describes the threatening elements which have displaced them-the predatory sea lamprey, the alewives, toxic waste, and volatile solids.
