Indicators for Evaluation Task Force and published by [Windsor, Ont.] : The Task Force. This book was released on 1996 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the governments of the United States & Canada have committed to restore & maintain the chemical, physical, & biological integrity of the waters of the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem. To fulfill its mandate to evaluate Agreement progress and provide advice to governments, the International Joint Commission requires data & information. The Commission has identified, as one priority activity, the identification of indicators to evaluate Agreement progress. Consequently, it established an Indicators for Evaluation Task Force in 1993 which undertook to develop an appropriate framework & indicators which would facilitate the Commission's evaluation of Agreement progress. This report begins with background on the Agreement, the Task Force, the Commission's approach to evaluation, and the Task Force's investigations. Chapter 2 describes the concept of indicators. Chapter 3 presents indicator organizing principles and an ecosystem-based methodology. Chapter 4 describes a framework for evaluation of Agreement progress which relates the Agreement purpose (ecosystem integrity) to desired outcomes, indicators to characterize each desired outcome, associated data & information to support each indicator, and relevant stresses. Chapter 5 identifies nine selected desired outcomes for the Great Lakes basin ecosystem, along with representative indicators & associated measurements that can be used to evaluate Agreement progress. Chapter 6 presents conclusions & recommendations.

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
