Summary: This was a really well presented website. The main page has four options which will lead to other pages full of information. They are: Overview of the Great Lakes and St. awrence Hydrology, Agencies and Organizations, Laws, and References. One main part of this website that caught my eye was that it presents some resent issues which are occuring in the Great Lakes right now, which can be found under the "Hot Topics" section. Overall this web page has a lot of great information, and it has lots of links at the end if you would wish to further your studies.

This page was posted by the International Association for Environmental Hydrology. They have online hydrology discussions and an electronic hydrology journal which where both very informative and easily accessible. At the bottom of the page they have room for comments and questions concerning hydrology which I thought was excellent. Rating ***

I found this site to be very useful. It gave a lot of information about ground water as well as other related topics. It also discussed the hydrological cycle, geology, wetlands, and a few other related areas. I found this site to be interesting and it helped me in better understanding these topics. I also learned some new information from them.

Name: Great Lakes Commission.URL: http://dir.yahoo.com/society_and_culture/environment_and_nature/water_ resources/lakes_and_ponds/great_lakes/. I was not sure who, or what the webmaster was. I give this site a rating of ****. This site was very good, because not only did it give information on the Hydrology of the Great Lakes, but it also enabled people to see pictues, and it also gave people diagrams of what they were trying to say. This site also enabled people to learn about of other things that effect the lakes and that effect the people who live near the lakes.
