Engineering Dimensions

May/June 2021

Engineering Dimensions is published quarterly by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) and is distributed to all PEO-licensed professional engineers. The magazine provides information relevant to the practice of professional engineering and promotes awareness of the Professional Engineers Act and the activities of the association.

In this issue:   Ontario has over 250,000 lakes and one fifth of the planet’s fresh water. Nevertheless, Canada’s most populous province manages its water resources carefully, and engineers play a key role. In this issue, we examine how Ontario’s engineers have helped to improve the province’s drinking water safety procedures in the two decades since the Walkerton tragedy. And we explore the role of conservation authorities and engineers in protecting Ontario’s wetlands.
