Who ever told you the Erie Canal was defunct ? Alive and well and lots
of loupers headed around the system.....well worth the trip at least once.

Niagara Falls and the Welland Canal are the two main “exits” from Lake
Erie. As I understand it, much of the flow going down the Niagara
River is diverted for hydraulic power, and presumably there is more
flow now going over the falls due to the high lake level. Obviously,
it’s not draining fast enough. The Welland is used for commercial
freighter traffic and is consequently well-controlled with locks. It
would likely be too disruptive to try to use the Welland as a drain.
I believe the Erie Canal is largely defunct and was also controlled
with locks. Even if you could direct water through what’s left of
that system, it would likely be overwhelmed before having much impact
on the lake level.

Next dumb question - assuming someone decides to lower Lake Ontario a
bit, how well does that lower the other lakes, if at all?
It seems like too much flow could flood Montreal. Last time I was in
Montreal the current headed east was pretty strong anyway, so I assume
this really could effect slow boats headed upstream.

The Moses-Saunders Power Dam ar Cornwall/Massena controls Lake
Ontario and the out flow down stream. There is a lot of controversy
over the IJC Plan 2014. The deciding factor is controlling the
spring flooding at Montreal and depths for commercial traffic. I’ve
really simplified it, it is infinitely more complex.

This is maybe a really dumb question – is there a way to drain them?
Does anything control the amount of water that heads out to sea down
the St. Lawrence Seaway, Erie Canal, and so on?
