Record High Great Lakes Water Level Expected to Climb Higher in 2020

[Richard]

Never understood why people built their homes, so close to the edge of a big river, lake or ocean. The likelihood of erosion over time is very high.

Like the houses,apartments and other commercial buildings built in the 1950s on the bluffs in California overlooking the ocean.

That are now falling into the sea,30’ down.

Our waterways and coastlines are constantly in flux,when erosion happens the material removed never just disappears,it gets moved around so where we lose land in one spot it is gained in another.

When you look at places like the Mississippi delta or the mid west it is like it was all designed to control the flow of water south,the mid west farm lands were rich in sediments so it made good farm land,forget about it was designed to absorb the spring overflow,so they devolved it and it now floods every town south of it and wonder why.

Look at the Grand Canyon,it was created by a river over thousands of years,all of that soul and rock removed went somewhere and created new land.

The early settlers adapted to the land and now we try to make the land adapt to us.
