Authors: Lizhu Wang, Antonette Arvai, Michael Laitta
The International Joint Commission of Canada and the U.S. - Great Lakes Regional Office (GLRO) is currently leading a bi-national effort to synchronize waste water treatment data within the shared Great Lakes Drainage Basin. This synchronized dataset will align provincial and state waste water treatment parameters such as treatment process, sludge stabilization, disposal methods, disinfection methods, to name a few. The resulting dataset will be the first bi-national normalized regulatory dataset within the International Great Lakes Basin.
