Abstract

Two thermal power plants exist on the northern and southern shores of Lake Wabamun in central Alberta. A comparison of their respective cooling systems is given. The sequence of governmental decisions leading to the macrophyte studies is elaborated and some of the results are given. A generalized outline of environmental impacts is also given. Possible alternative modes of cooling and their respective capital and operating costs are discussed.

Deux usines thermo-électriques fonctionnent sur les rives nord et sud du lac Wabamun au centre de l’Alberta. L’auteur compare le système de refroidissement de chacune. Dans cet article, on décrit le cheminement dans les décisions gouvernementales qui à mené aux études des macrophytes ainsi que certains résultats.
