Swimming in lakes on borrowed time
TEDxUniversityofSaskatchewan, Helen Baulch, February 2026
Water quality issues are widespread across Canada. A recent talk presented at a University of Saskatchewan TEDx event by Dr Helen Baulch brings this home on both personal and scientific levels. GWFO instrumented sites help us understand changing water quality: Dr. Baulch’s work at the Buffalo Pound observatory has helped us understand changing water quality risks and foster adaptation of water treatment to risks of poor water quality.
