Great Lakes Water Level Rise at Eva Jennings blog

Great Lakes Water Level Rise. Great lakes water levels could increase on average from 19 to 44 centimeters in the next few decades, study says. The great lakes in the midwest comprise the largest unfrozen freshwater stores on earth, but experts have forecast that rising water. Over the last few decades, water levels have declined slightly for most of the great lakes (see figure 1). Water levels in the great lakes have fluctuated since 1860. The basin’s levels usually increase in spring with heavy precipitation and runoff from snowmelt. In recent years, surging water levels and extreme storms on the great lakes have battered infrastructure along coastal communities and eroded shorelines. In wisconsin, lakeshore communities estimated they will spend almost $250 million to repair damage linked to climate change. Over the past decades, the water levels of the great lakes have undergone dramatic fluctuations, exhibiting a range exceeding 2 meters. New research into great lakes water levels looks farther into the future to predict how much climate change will increase lake levels in four of the five great lakes.
