Great Lakes Water Quality is Focus Of New Research Grant

A group of researchers were given 5 million dollars to study what the water quality of the great lakes is going to be like after the effects of climate change. They believe that the climate change is going to have a negative effect on the lakes which hold 84% of North Americas fresh water. While there is a lot known about how global warming will effect the amount and availability of water there is little known about the actual effects it will have on it as this is a source of drinking water, agricultural irrigation and recreation. This is a very unique experiment and in my opinion a very good one. If the water quality is going to be horrible in years to come, we need to know that now in order to attempt to discover a solution in time.
