Flowing Through Distinct Watersheds
| Challenge: | Environment | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Toronto | | City: | Toronto, ON | | School: | Upper Canada College | | Abstract: | The four main rivers in Southern Ontario originate from the same Mono area and flow into three different lakes, through distinct watersheds consisting of farmlands, cities, and greenbelts.
