Others are oper- ating on a part-time basis. While there is not unanimity that foul water is whoiiy re- sponsible -- some blame over- fishing -- most authorities agree. that nollution is at least a major culprit. At any rate, such desirable catches as cisco, walleye, whitefish and pike have virtually disap- peared coincident with a growth of more primitive forms of aquatic life and less valuable but hardier fish such as perch and smelt. "I don't know that we can ever bring them back," says Dr. George B. Langford, di- rector of the University of Toronto's Great Lakes Insti- tute, The institute does re- search on lake waters and Dr. Langford has been a loud-- and solo -- voice calling for action against pollution for a half dozen years. "These changes may not be reversible," he says. "I hope we can stop the spread of pollution, but it's getting worse at an alarming rate." What mankind has come up against, particularly in Lake Erie, is a partially self - per- petuating situation. The tech- nical name for it is eutrophi- cation--a word that's going to be heard a lot around the lakes from now on -- and it is the process that starts when a body of water gets over- loaded with nutrients such as pour out of municipal and in- dustrial discharge systems. Primeval - type water growths such as algae multi- ply enormously on the rich diet of phosphates and ni- trates, using up oxygen to do it. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the lake. Mic- roscopic organisms feed on them, using more oxygen. And this process releases from the bottom more food that becomes available for the same cycle of growth and de- cay BECOMES SELF - STARTING Somewhere along the line-- and no one is sure just where --there comes a point of no return where the process does not need any more man-made food and perhaps cannot be stopped from expanding. Prof. R. R. Langford of the University of Toronto's zool- ogy department has said that the western basin of Lake Erie--where the deterioration has gone farthest--probably has already reached this point. W. Q. Kehr, project director for an intensive study of pollu- tion in Lake Michigan for the U.S, Public Health Service, has stated that unless a satis- factory method can be found for dealing with soluble salts in its water within 10 years, there could be parts of that wholly - American lake irre- trievably lost so far as water quality is concerned, Ironically, a saving feature for Lake Michigan has been the celebrated "Chicago diver- sion" by which Chicago draws 3,000 cubic feet of water a second out of the lake and uses it to flush drainage down the Mississippi River system. Canadian and American navi- gation, power and lakeshore interests have objected to the diversion for years. In the other two lakes--Su- charged openly with being too close to the Americans -- a charge that has proved fatal to many: a politician in the past, and which puts teeth in the North Vietnamese insult: "Lackey of the imperialists." KICKS BACK perior and Huron--no pollution problems have appeared to date. Both are of huge area and their shores relatively un- populated. BLOOMED SUDDENLY When eutrophication struck on Lake Erie, it followed its ustal course Of building ~up- without noticeable signals and then bursting into full bloom. In September of 1964 about 800 square miles of the lake were found covered with a thick mat of green, slimy algae. One observer described the consistency as that of full-bod- ied pea soup. In Lake Ontario, some 43 miles of shoreline between Toronto and Presqu'ile on the north shore was littered and smelled up with algae, and last year it was found in the southeast section of the lake. Apart from hitting at fishing and recreation; the growths have cluttered up filters of in- dustrial and municipal water plants, 1owered waterfront property values, interfered with manufacture of some in- dustrial products and gener- ally offered a threat to a valuable water resource. "Tf it goes on," Dr. George Langford says, "'there will be large areas where the water will be valueless for most pur- poses without going through an expensive purification like that needed to make sea wa- ter usable. I don't know how long it will take to get to that point." No one has yet put a dol- lars-and-cents figure on the size of the problem. But it's big and growing bigger, par- ticularly on Lake Erie. The critical position on this lake comes about because it is the smallest In volume and shallowest and has been ab- sorbing waste from a heavy concentration of American population and industry in such cities as Detroit, Cleve- land and Toledo as well as a half dozen major -- and pol- luted--rivers. Canada's con- tribution to the situation is only about five per cent. POURS IN TONS : Daily the American side of the Detroit River pours into Lake Erie 7,000,000 pounds of solids that settle to the bot- tom plus 500,000 pounds of dis- solved phosphates and nitro- gen--the algae fertilizers. A U.S. government report paints a similar 'picture for other American rivers drain- ing into the lake. 'The Buf- falo LieeY under normal conditions," it says, "'is vir- tually a giant cesspool." Oth- ers sound not much better. It has been estimated that we in Windsor," sayd Dr. J. A. Vance, chairman of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, a provincial gov- ernment agency. Windsor, across the channel from De- troit, still dumps untreated into Lake Erie much of the sewage from 200,000 people. Lake Ontario's probiem, to the extent that it has de- veloped, is primarily a Cana- dian - created one from the tion on its north side, though some pollution slops past Ni- agara Falls from Lake Erie. However, the International Joint Commission observes that Lake Ontario "'does not show at present the same critical conditions" as Lake Erie. ' Toronto is the biggest city on this lake, and Dr. Vance says it is a leader in well- managed treatment of sewage. Dr. Langford is less just to clean up the Detroit enthusiastic; he calls the Don River, flowing through Tor- mess would take $1,000,000,000 and 10 years. "Detroit has been dragging its heels, but then so have onto, an open sewer, main concentration of popula-" "While the Lake Ontario situation is not so serious as Erie's,"' he says, "'it is fraught with problems. Beautiful sandy beaches are covered with green scum that rots and stinks. In the Bay of Quinte special filters are needed to keep algae out of water sup- plies." Low lake levels'of the iast few years have worsened the situation by leaving less water available to flush away con- taminants. But this is not a major factor. The lakes' con- tents settle into definite strata so that the moving water just washes over the top. Thus the current rise in lake levels-- while helpful for navigation and recreation -- is not ex- pected to rinse out much pol- lution. Working in the opposite di- rection is a proliferation: of chemicals--edible or harmful --from many sources. Ex- amples are highway salt, ag- riculture's fertilizers, weed- REASONS to fly to Europe this summer BOAC offers you 29 excellent reasons why you should fly to Europe this summer -- a re- cord number of 29 trans- atlantic flights from Toronto, There's sure to be one to fit with your travel plans.
