Extensively and readily apparent turbidity pollution of Southwestern Lake 
St. Clair by the Thames and Syndenham Rivers in the Southern 
Ontario Peninsula......    The apparent turbidity plume also flows into the 
Detroit River and reaches Lake Erie.

of Western Lake Erie by the Maumee River and of Sandusky Bay.

If it were warmer, appearance of algae and phytoplankton would also be 
visible in the turbidity impact areas.

The more visible turbid half of the Detroit River is shown in this
