After more than two years of testing their technologies in laboratories and in the Lake Simcoe watershed, the four finalists in The George Barley Water Prize – a $10 million incentive award to find a new technology capable of removing phosphorus from water supplies – were announced today at the Epic Hall of the Toronto Reference Library. “These finalists represent our best hope for solving the algae crisis that is choking waterways worldwide,” said Eric Eikenberg, CEO of The Everglades Foundation, which is hosting the competition.
