The International Upper Great Lakes Study released a report on the tradeoffs of restoring water levels on Lake Michigan-Huron to their past levels.
The Study investigated the impacts of raising the levels of Lake Michigan-Huron for five different restoration scenarios: from a base case of 0 cm to 10 cm (3.9 in), 25 cm (9.8 in), 40 cm (15.7 in), and 50 cm (19.7 in). This was done to account for various channel changes and drops in water levels from navigational and other dredging projects dating back to the mid-1800s.
