IJC Report On The St. Clair "Drain" Hypothesis
Via MLive: Study: Upper Great Lakes not losing extra water
Lakes Huron and Michigan are not losing an unnaturally high volume of water to Lake Erie, and there is no need to place barriers in the St. Clair River to stem the outflow as a Canadian group is demanding, says an engineering study released Friday...
..."Climate is the main driver of the lake level relationships between lakes over time," it says. "There has been a persistent decline in net total supply of water to Lake Superior and Lake Michigan-Huron over the past two decades that has resulted in declining lake levels and a change in the relationship to Lake Erie."
