This data was derived as part of the Overall Assessment of the State of Nearshore Waters. <\/SPAN>The Great Lakes are a source of drinking water for millions of Canadians and should not have an adverse impact on human health. Water intended for human consumption should not contain disease-causing organisms (e.g. <\/SPAN>E. coli<\/SPAN>) or other hazardous concentrations of toxic chemicals or radioactive substances. <\/SPAN><\/P>

The locations of drinking water treatment plants were obtained and the number of adverse water quality incidents (AWQI) reported within each Regional Unit was summarized to assign low or high stress. Drinking water treatment plant locations are sensitive, and not provided; points represent the centroid of a Regional Unit. Not all Regional Units have a drinking water treatment plant.<\/SPAN><\/P>
