Experimental Lakes Area
The Experimental Lakes Area is a series of pristine lakes in northern Canada that have been the source of a series of experiments dealing with the pollution of fresh water. The scientific discoveries at the ELA have led to policy changes in Canada, the United States and Europe that deal with issues like acid rain and non-point source pollution. Dr. David Schindler was the first director in the ELA and talks about some of the work that’s been done there, and changes in the way politicians have responded to science.
