 This would recycle (not divert) some of the now huge and harmful run-off to Canada’s Hudson Bay to the Great Lakes from a new sea-level freshwater dike-enclosure in James Bay.This should substantially increase Canada’s freshwater supply and improve Hudson Bay and east coast environments, fisheries and shipping.However, despite Quebec’s past Premier Bourassa’s and prominent engineering groups’ endorsement of detailed study of his concept, as well as an invitation to outline it to the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2001, some Canadian authorities unfortunately fail to understand basic differences between "run-off recycling" as opposed to potentially harmful "headwater diversions" or simply fear any joint water management with the US.
