Abstract
The use of de-icing salts to clear roads and sidewalks in winter is a stressor of lake ecosystems. New research from the Ecohydrology Research Group at Waterloo University has shown that increasing lake salinisation linked to urban growth exacerbates water quality deterioration usually ascribed to the proliferation of algae driven by nutrient enrichment.
