Levels on the Mississippi should have no effect. The river watershed is not
connected to the Great Lakes. Most of the Great Lakes have little watershed
area; well at least in the US. For eg., the Superior watershed only goes back
50mi from the western shore. So a light winter can have a dramatic effect if
the flow out of the lake system is normal.And as I believe Fred pointed out,
evaporation is a major factor, especially when the watershed area is small
relative to the surface water area.Usually there is little maneuvering room for
changing dam releases on the upper Miss. The changes are usually made on the
big dams of the Missouri since 40% of the lower Miss' summer flow is from the
Missouri.RonWild CheriC&C 30STL

#yiv2129176082 p {margin:0;}Great Lakes water level:
Just guessing, but isn't the fall in lake levels due to lower rainfall
amounts?
Also, didn't they raise the level of the Mississippi (by lowering dam levels
upstream to feed it) because they need to keep channels filled for commercial
shipping?

Levels
The main intention of my first email, was to pass along information on
what is happening to the water levels in the Great Lakes
and to let people know that the governments are doing nothing to improve the
situation. Allowing the level in 1 lake to drop another 5 feet is going
to destroy fishing, boating and most recreational activities on the lake.
Don't shoot the messenger -- point the gun at the politicians.
