Turns out we are loosing a bit of water from the Great Lakes. How much? Well, somewhere in the neighbourhood of 9.5 billion litres a day (no, that is not a typo).
Looks like stuff we have done (dredging, mining, etc.) have has an adverse effect on the lakes. John Jackson, program director for Great Lakes United calls the loss of water "senseless" and says that the problem will negatively affect the quality of the water in the lakes, boating, fishing, and commerce.
No clear solution yet - but the problem is getting worse... and needs to be addressed...
