DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.10.025
Abstract: Concern over the potential transfer of aquatic nuisance species (ANS) between the Great Lakes basin and the Upper Mississippi River basin has motivated calls to re-establish hydrologic separation between the two basins. Accomplishing that goal… read more here.
