High lake levels affect areas far from the shoreline

Lakes Michigan and Huron are projected to be at record high levels throughout the summer, and that affects the entire Door Peninsula, not just areas near the shoreline. All of the watersheds and rivers that eventually pour out into Lake Michigan are finding it difficult to do so. Chris Warren, Chief of Great Lakes Hydrology for the US Army Corps of Engineers, uses the Bay of Green Bay as an example of the consequences when tributaries and waterways get backed up.

 


Warren says there is no easy solution to the high water levels. He believes that only a prolonged regional dry spell can bring water levels back towards their long-term average.
