 What Caused the Ongoing Flooding on Lake Ontario?


By JoAnna Wendel 3 August 2017

Since April, floodwaters along the shores of Lake Ontario have closed roads, inundated homes, and destroyed break walls. Shore-bound residents have watched the lake rise almost a meter above its normal levels, eroding away shorelines and threatening homes.

Lake Ontario stretches 310 kilometers, spanning the U.S. border with Canada between the state of New York and the province of Ontario. On both sides of the border, residents and politicians have called on managers of the Moses-Saunders Dam, which regulates water levels of Lake Ontario, to increase outflow from the lake into the Saint Lawrence River.

Rain.

I've been saying the lake levels were on the rise for almost 5 years now. Rain expected across Michigan again today and what doesn't evaporate heads downstream to the lakes. The same happens everywhere else in te great lakes watershed.

This interconnectedness makes the lakes “like one massive river system,” said Andrew Gronewold, a hydrologist in NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory.

Lake Ontario receives water from precipitation, runoff from the surrounding basin, and water from the Niagara River. This spring, all three sources dumped more water than normal into the lake.
