Great Lakes Water Loss

Sign the Petition : 166 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

The Great Lakes are losing 2.5 billion gallons of water a day!

The cause?

In 1962, the Army Corps of engineers dredged the St. Clair channel connecting Lake Huron and Lake Erie . They knew the water levels would drop, but it was estimated it would only be a 12 inch drop in overall lake levels.

The water levels of the Great Lakes have dropped 30 inches, and there’s no end in sight!

I don’t think I have to tell you how important the Great Lakes are to all of us. The Great Lakes account for 20 percent of the world’s fresh water supply. That fact alone makes them worth protecting. Can we really afford to let 2.5 billion gallons of fresh water drain away daily?

I am asking our duly elected representatives to look into this problem. I am asking them to help us find a workable solution to this very real threat to the Great Lakes.

For more information, please feel free to visit the website www.WeCanSaveTheGreatLakes.com.

We need to find a solution to the problem created by the dredging of the St. Clair channel, and we need to find it before it’s too late.

Thank you for your time and effort in this very important matter.

    Not only our the powers in greed lowering the water levels in the Great Lakes, our government - that entity designed to protect us and to whom we pay taxes - is allowing BP to dump ammonia and toxic sludge from their refinery in Indiana into Lake Michigan. The government is not going to stop this. The government is the one allowing all this to happen.
