Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted April 28, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I haven't looked for any numbers about Lake Michigan water levels but damn she seems a little high...couple that with a seemingly large number of high wind days lately and you get this. Haven't seen it like this in quite some time. Also found the last patch of snow on the local ski hill.

Woodtick Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Lake Michigan is up 4’ from normal. 10 years ago it was down 5’ and it was caused by global warming. All of the green tax has brought the water back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a few years later was so low you couldn’t get your boat to the dock. Now it’s brimming again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact number fluctuates daily but SoCal gets between 3.5 million and 5 million gallons of water daily from Lake Havasu. This is done via mutual agreement and several state laws between Cali and Arizona. This is actually good news for Lake Havasu but bad news for Lake Mead and other lakes on the Colorado River Drainage. Because of these agreements the level of Lake Havasu has to be maintained within a specific margin. That margin keeps Havasu at a very specific level while Lake Mead and other lakes can fluctuate multiple feet daily and +/- 50' annually and hundreds of feet over a decade. Lake Havasu has benefited greatly by this water sharing agreement between Cali and Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 They really need to stop building in some of those areas. I was on mead a few years ago and couldn’t believe how low it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
