"Changing the Flow: A Blueprint for Federal Action on Freshwater" by the Gordon Water Group. "Government action to protect fresh water has been sorely lacking for 20 years as the pressure on fresh water - from pollution, climate change, drought in Western Canada and falling levels in the Great Lakes - are increasing" To find out what the Canadian government should be doing, Click Here.

The Lake Winnipeg Foundation has begun an effort to locate and catalogue written material (mostly scientific) about Lake Winnipeg or relevant to some of the issues facing the lake. Most of these are not catalogued yet but we will post the list of these articles as our catalogue grows and add to it as we locate additional material.

Currently we have several hundred articles on hand but some are protected by copyright and we cannot make the full articles available. If we are able to obtain permission from copyright owners, we shall make the full articles available on the site.
