Climate Change

For hundreds of small and medium-sized communities across the Great Lakes region, preparing for the water-related impacts of changing weather patterns can be challenging.

This summer, Canadian and US scientists will “cruise” the Great Lakes, conducting monitoring and sampling. They will gather essential data that helps track the status and trends of the lakes’ water quality and environmental health.

Building upon modeling efforts in two river systems, the International Osoyoos Lake Board of Control has a complete hydrologic computer model covering the entire Osoyoos Lake basin.
