Water Fact Sheets: Deciding The Fate Of The Great Lakes
Great Lakes governments now are negotiating a common strategy to implement the Great Lakes Charter Annex, and protect all water users — from farms and cities to fish and forests. To develop a truly effective plan, leaders must:
• LAY DOWN THE LAW. Turn general principals for protecting Great Lakes water into enforceable law with no loopholes.
• PROTECT IT ALL. Protections should apply to the entire freshwater system, including groundwater and small streams that feed the Great Lakes.
• SEEK PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. States and provinces must involve citizens, businesses, and communities in decisions that affect their freshwater resources.
