Bathymetry of a section of east end of Cambridge Bay, near the future site of the sea water intake for CHARS, Cambridge Bay, Nunavut
Sewage water in the hamlet of Cambridge Bay is collected in storage tanks outside of buildings and subsequently dumped by tanker trucks in a system of two sewage lagoons, where it is kept for a period of time. The partially treated sewage water is then flown through a wetland and eventually discharg...
