Lake Winnipeg: A Sea of Phosphorus Troubles?
| Challenge: | Environment | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Winnipeg Schools | | City: | Winnipeg, MB | | School: | River Heights School | | Abstract: | My project is on the growing eutrophication (nutrient loading) problem in Lake Winnipeg. Lake Winnipeg has been suffering from increased algae blooms which have been feeding off of phosphorus in the lake, so my experiment was an attempt to capture how nutrient loading can contribute to algae growth, as well as to show that understanding the problem is the key to the environmental solution. |
