HTO:: Toronto's Water from Lake Iroquois to Lost Rivers and Low-flow Toilets

Drained by a half-dozen major watersheds, cut by a network of deep ravines and fronting on a Great Lake, Toronto is dominated by water. Recently, the trend of fettering Toronto''s water and putting it underground has been countered by persistent citizen-led efforts to recall and restore the city''s surface water. In HTO: Toronto''s Water from Lake Iroquois to Taddle Creek and Beyond, thirty contributors examine the ever-changing interplay between nature and culture, and call into question the city''s past, present and future engagement with water.
