working with nature rather than controlling it with heavy hand , nature is interdependent and has evolved for eons . wet lands and marshes play an important role in ecosystem health. we can restore our wetlands and marshes water sheds , we can recycle waste and treat before releasing it. we can be mindful of our actions.
Terrific document. It's a pity that so few people is interested to get involved in this huge coming problem, drinkable water for next 50 years? Emily said she regrets no having watched this in class. The cruel real fault is us. It looks NOBODY cares about what is coming for water, food supply. If you see your children current game's watch like funnelvision, millions of views in less than a couple of months, that is important for the new generation. It's a pity. So, frustrating because this extraordinary report only 38,866 views. Until now (Aug 04, 2018), the unsolved problem at lake Winnipeg is aggravating with the Zebra mussel invasion.
I think it's damn sad!!! We don't care about these things but they are killing this planet and it's time we do something as a people!!no excuses just help!!
I don't think that the problem is agriculture. The water at Lake Winnipeg is becoming stagnate...lack of movement. My grandfather said that the water from Lake Winnipeg flowed into the Mississippi River. Upheavel of land, etc, may have stopped the flow OR the Hydro dam but it started before the hydro dam was built. Part of the complaint was that they once had hundreds of ducks. Stagnant water kills off fish. Get the water moving. The Mississippi use to have large boats now it is becoming more mud and less water. Perhaps if a creek was dredged down to the Mississippi then that water would have more drinking water, fish, etc and Manitoba would have less flooding. Large fish are dependent on small fish...add catfish, sardines, shrimp etc
+iris wigle , the video explains that the lake is the reservoir for several rivers including the Red River which flows North from the Mississippi River, not the other way around. The problem is not stagnation but the combined loss of the smaller retention ponds, marshes and natural vegetation to control the amount of phosphates present in the run off from the farmlands. watch the video in it's entirety. it is quite interesting

Thanks for posting this! I had been wanting to see it again and send the link to a few people
What alternatives are there to phosphorus fertilizers?
. . . and 8 years later, what has changed? NOTHING. Why? Laziness and greed.
Do they test the fish they are selling? If the green stuff kills a dog swimming in it , the fish must be a risk to eat.

Dear humans,greed for thins may take you nowhere but any hopeful adventure is worth a Hume .

Manitoba hydro is to blame
So are we...we use fertilizers and create some of the pollution. Manitoba Hydro is not ALL at fault
*Zebra muscles have infested the lake....it will be dead in a few decades!*
tbh, what kind of idiot fishes in a lake with zebra muscles, and doesn't clean his boat?
Firstname Lastname tons of lazy humans. If we didn’t have check stops to inspect boats the spread would be much worse because of lazy people
MH- Our actions to our knowledge has never affected the water quality of Lake Winnipeg- Seems like bottling up phosphorous would be a problem?
+Lynn Jones it is evident that it is from run off. prairie farmland covers more area than Winnipeg.
First comment
Its prob tide. Or its animal food. Frogs live in there
