A surprisingly entertaining presentation regarding water quality in the Great Lakes Basin prior to the Clean Water Act of 1972, and the International approach to resolving a century of unimaginable dumping by both the US and Canada. The presenter will cover the progress, what remains to be done, and the new, complex challenges we are just beginning to understand.
