MSc candidate helps monitor water quality in connecting channels of the Great Lakes Basin

Dennis Otieno, an MSc candidate from the Lake Victoria basin in Kenya, is gaining hands-on experience with the Laurentian Great Lakes by contributing to water quality monitoring in the Detroit River, a connecting channel of the Great Lakes.

The project is part of the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) connecting channels monitoring program. Sampling sites along the connecting channels of the Great Lakes have been established and are continually monitored to evaluate the year-round distribution of nutrients and suspended sediments transported between lakes.
