consumption of pork and cyanobacteria
Here's an example that demonstrates that act only with coercive or suggestive of septic tank adjoining owners is far from being the solution, as claimed by the Minister Line Beauchamp.
This Lake Choiniere Yamaska Park, located in Granby.
At this point, there any home or cottage on the edge of the lake.
Only farmland.
Swimming is now prohibited because of the proliferation of blue algae .
Obviously the time we put fertilizer on our lawn is long gone. But this is not enough. As long as the government persists to give licenses to mega hog to pollute our rivers , we must stop completely our consumption of pork. We have the solution individually in our hands. Not necessary to become a vegetarian like me, just banish the bacon, ham, pork and other steins derived from pig.

The cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria secrete potent toxins (cyanotoxins), which are generally neurotoxins that can affect fatally various animals and Man.
These blooms (blooms) form such blooms that appear a particular color on a water pollution in the process. We are seeing these blooms when the water contains nitrogen and / or excess phosphorus, a consequence of such a Agriculture too heavy or ill urbanization purifying waters .
cyanobacteria in drinking water reservoirs
water reservoirs fed by rivers or rainwater may be contaminated with toxic cyanobacteria . It seems that this phenomenon is increasing since the 1970s.
In Quebec, 3 years from 2001 to 2004, out of 6 stations for drinking water production, Anabaena flosaquae, Coelosphaerium kuetzingianum have frequently been detected, and a dozen other strains. The largest number of potentially toxic species were on sites of Plessisville, Saint-Hyacinthe and Farnham. In one third of cases, the presence of one or several species of Cyanophyceae was associated with a detectable concentration of cyanotoxins. Knowing that these species are characterized by plankton blooms, without measure regular and very close together, it is never certain measure the maximum. The Bécancour River Yamaska River and Missisquoi Bay that serve as drinking water reservoir, containing at rates "often exceeding the alert threshold proposed by Bartram et al. (1999) for drinking water, or 2000 cells / ml.
There are over 1,500 different species of blue-green algae spread in about 120 genera.
