Peace and Environment News * December 1992-January 1993 |
If you've ever wondered how many boats go through the locks of the Rideau River system each year, or how many cubic metres of water the river pumps over Rideau Falls every second, your book has arrived. Our River, The Rideau, published by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, offers a comprehensive hisory of the river from its Precambrian roots to the construction of the canal system to the urban overload faced by the river today.
The book's colorful illustrations offer a pictoral catalogue of the wildlife which call the Rideau home, and come accompanied with suggestions on how to stop and reverse the flow of pollution which now threatens the river and its inhabitants.
Our River, The Rideau is available at PERC in both French and English for $5, and fits comfortably in most Christmas stockings.
