Description:   The algal community of Boomerang Lake, which received acid mine drainage from pyritic tailings was compared with that of Confederation Lake, located in northwestern Ontario.  The composition of the algal populations in each lake was evaluated in order to determine pollution sensitive species and to identify changes in water quality. Based on this, different ecological engineering and biological methods were implemented.  Differences in metal concentrations and in the composition of phytoplankton were detected.
