95. The shorter, warmer winters are lowering the water levels in the Great Lakes...
Edited on Tue May-27-08 01:45 AM by tokenlib
One way in which the lakes retain water is by freezing over in the winter. Now with the lakes remaining with more open water in the warmer winters--a lot more evaporation takes place which helps leave us with record low lake levels. The lower levels are hurting shipping as ships have to carry less cargo.
Water is a finite resource--like oil--and we're going to have to decide about our priorities.
