Loading ...There is a lot of talk, thanks to the droughts in the Southeast and the fires in the Southwest, that the Midwest should be sharing it’s plentiful water resources, aka the Great Lakes.
Here is a harsh reality folks… the Great Lakes water source is something like 95% deposited water from glacier deposits. The majority of the water is there because it was deposited, not because it comes from some magical source. Not because rainfall and snow runoff give it great abundance. It is because it was left there. It isn’t replenishing itself - in fact we might be taking too much too quick.
Please stop by a site that I built, for a friend, about saving the Great Lakes. It’s called We Can Save The Great Lakes and the statement is true to it’s name. It is ours to save or destory.
