Westland

Kootenay Lake

Description

After decades of study and deliberation, the decision is made to proceed with a controversial fertilization program on Kootenay Lake in an effort to provide nutrients for a collapsing fishery. The background to this story has been updated for years on WestLand and shows how insidious and lasting damage can often result from large projects like dam-building and how often, very often, they are completely unforeseen. Coverage of the results of this fertilization experiment are updated each year on subsequent WestLand programs.
