Niagara Water Quality


Recommended Posts

As summer begins  it seems some of our waters are contaminated . This article is interesting as it involves our fishing areas . The 20 mile creek (Balls Falls) is one of the worst polluted as it gets run off chems from farms and sewage . Polluted waterways end up in Lake Ontario from roads , ditches and streams. I was surprised to see the lower upper and lower 12 Mile system in good condition due to the flow from Lake Erie and the ground water from the upper 12 .  We got rid of most of our industry years ago but we can't do much about the tons of road salt and farm runoff .
