2 The IJC and Water - Current Activities Future of water? - climate change always needs to be considered IJC Transboundary Watersheds
3 Background Climate Change Studies for the IJC s Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Study and Joint funded Canada and U.S. Hydrology and Hydraulics Group (1 of 9 TWGs) responsible for Climate Change Scenarios
