Whenever a large number of different activities are based upon a single resource, conflicts are inevitable. The Trent-Severn system of dams controlling the water levels and flows in a large recreational area is jusr such a siEuaEion. Whitewater canoeing requires flow to be taken from reservoir headwater lakes while cottaging on these lakes is enhanced when the water level remains high. Lock operation with adequate advertised draught through the navigation route, as planned and designed for, requires that evaporation losses from canal route lakes be replaced with water from the reservoir lakes, also detrimental to the reservoir cottager.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
