Nutrient Overload
The warm nutrient rich waters from the water treatment facility make the Desjardins Canal a more hospitable environment for algae to flourish.

Floating Wetlands
The introduction of plant material that will absorb surplus nutrients may reduce the algae along with all the problems algae blooms can cause to the canal’s ecosystem.
The floating wetlands can be introduced experimentally at first. Over time, their success can be monitored and their numbers expanded should it be warranted.

Mounding creates visual interest as well as providing clean growing medium separated from the contaminated soil beneath.
