Pumped Storage

During high demand periods, electricity is produced by using the water flow from the upper to the lower storage reservoir.  When demand is low and electricity prices are lower, the water is pumped back up.   For more information on pumped storage, check out this article “Mining for Megawatts in Mamora”.

THANK YOU ONTARIO TRILLIUM FOUNDATION, KGHM INTERNATIONAL & CONSERVATION SUDBURY FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

The Lower Vermilion Source Water Quality Monitoring Project – a 3-year study characterizing the lower Vermilion River with a goal of identifying any negative inputs and outputs affecting water quality, and to ultimately recommend a course of action to protect and restore water quality on the Vermilion River system.
