EFFECTS OF DIVERSIONS ON THE GREAT LAKES.

Abstract

Effects of diversions on the levels and outflows of lakes connected by channels affected by backwater, such as Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Erie in the Great Lakes system, are discussed. The diversions considered consist of diversions into and out of the drainage basin of the lakes and of diversions between the lakes. The histories and features of the five existing diversions in the Great Lakes basin that meet these conditions are outlined. (Author)
