and Humber watersheds. General improvement works may be seen in the Humber 

 River at Weston, the Don River at Hogg's Hollow, and in the Thames at IngersoU 

 and Mitchell. The diversion of the Etobicoke River at Brampton, built in 1949 

 and 1950 by the Etobicoke Conservation Authority (now incorporated in the 

 Metropolitan Toronto and Region Authority), shows the function of a by-pass 

 channel. 



Reservoirs impounded by large dams may have recreation value as well as 

 flood control. The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority has developed 

 the Fanshawe Reservoir for recreation. Over 125,000 people used the beach, 

 water, and camping facilities in 1962. 



In addition to large dams and reservoirs, a number of Authorities have built 

 smaller dams. Small dams have value for irrigation water supply, regulation of 

 summer flow and municipal water supply. The Morrison Dam at Exeter built 

 by the Ausable River Conservation Authority, the Kelso Dam near Milton 

 constructed by the Sixteen-Mile Authority and the Kelly Lake Dam in the 

 Junction Creek at Sudbury, built by the Junction Authority, are examples of 

 small multi-use structures.
