Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Basin: A Freshwater Giant

The Great Lakes – St. Lawrence water system is one of the world's largest. From the heartland of North America, freshwater travels 3000 kilometres through the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence River, and into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Approximately 15 million Canadians and 30 million Americans call the basin home.
