This paper reviews the current approach to source protection for the Great Lakes and the
connecting channel municipal drinking water systems by the province of Ontario,
Canada. Legislative requirements for technical reporting on vulnerability, source water
issues and rating of drinking water threats are reviewed and some examples of
delineations for zones of vulnerability about the raw water intake cribs and associated
vulnerability scores are presented. General observations on source water quality and
types of drinking water threats for the Great Lakes and the connecting channel water treatment
plants in the upper and lower lakes are also provided along with an outline of next steps
in the source protection process. Includes tables.
