The 'Great Recycling and Northern Development Canal' is a long proposed project in the
James Bay region of
Canada. The project would involve constructing a barrier to separate
James Bay from
Hudson Bay and thereby create an enormous
freshwater reservoir. In addition, the project envisions constructing canals to carry this fresh water to the
Great Lakes where it could be further pumped to water-hungry communities across North America. This project was designed to establish major water lines between Canada and the United States. The feasibility and impact of this project was highly contested in Canada.
Proposed in the
1960s by
Newfoundland engineer
Thomas Kierans, the project briefly captured the imagination of a number of Canadian public figures in the
1980s, including
Quebec premier
Robert Bourassa. However, it has never been seriously advanced by any government.
