Catchment Management of Lake Simcoe, Canada
This chapter presents the case study of Lake Simcoe. This case study provides a summary of integrated and collaborative management methods undertaken, the observed results, and future plans for restoring the ecological health of a Canadian catchment. The human population around the shores of Lake Simcoe has grown rapidly since the 1930s, the impacts of which are reflected in catchment phosphorus loads. Due to the large surface area of the lake in comparison to that of the catchment, direct atmospheric deposition of nutrients upon the lake surface can contribute significant loads. In Ontario, the oversight of waterbody health is administered across multiple jurisdictions, from a top‐down federal stance, to an integrated catchment management approach. Lake Simcoe provides an example of how multi‐level jurisdictional collaboration and integrated water resource management can bring about significant positive ecological, economical, and societal change.
