The Little River flows next to St. Lawrence Campus; rapid temperature changes from sub 10°C to +27°C in less than a week has caused the river to flood. The Little River is home to a large fish population, with the expansion of the river, fish could accidentally swim into the flood zone and become stranded there when the river returns to its normal size. When rivers breach their banks and spread into fields, rivers drag trash as well as harmful fertilizers used for crops back into the river. This trash and chemicals can severely hurt and kill fish, birds and mammals living in the river. Although this flood is only temporary its repercussions could change the Little River’s whole ecosystem.
