Great article about #BigAg...

"Water from the #RedRiver flows through #LakeWinnipeg on its journey to #HudsonBay. Lake Winnipeg is huge—the world’s 11th largest freshwater lake by surface area (even larger than Lake Ontario and about the same as Lake Erie) and has the world’s largest ‘lakeshed’, i.e. area of land draining to a lake. It supports a large commercial and sport fishery for several fish species including walleye, which are a peculiar green color there due to the mineral content of the water."
"The #water_quality in Lake Winnipeg is tanking because of “rapidly increased #livestock production and use of synthetic #fertilizer in the Red River Valley, with smaller contributions of phosphorus from the city of Winnipeg and other human development in the Red and Winnipeg River basins .” Nutrient-driven #toxic #algae blooms have doubled in size since the 1990s due to increases in Red River phosphorus levels, a common component of livestock manure."

RT @ESA_EO: The @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2 mission takes us over part of #LakeWinnipeg in the Canadian province of Manitoba, with Reindeer Island visible in the lower-right part of the image. The swirling shades of green in the waters is an algal bloom https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2017/12/Reindeer_Island

I was in #Gimli a few days ago when the lake ice shifted, creating an “ice quake” so strong that the vibrations shook my house, opening up a ridge on the ice. Sure scared me! First time I’ve experienced that. Anyone else feel it? #LakeWinnipeg #IceQuake #Manitoba #LakeLife
