Superior losing water

While vacationing on the north shore of Huron recently I was amazed at the loss of water on the lake. It was making docks and waterways unusable. Now it appears it is happening in Superior also. As a kid and mostly as a teen I was fortunate to spend many days and nights on this lake and it upsets me to think some of my favourite spots are probably changed beyond recognition now.

It's unfortunate but true. Changes in weather play a big part in this. Increased temperatures and less rainfall are 2 culprits. Then there 's the increased draw on fresh water by some states. If freeze over is shortened by a month one loses up to 1 inch from cold air evaporation.
