💧The Lake Michigan-Huron basin received well above precipitation in March. Precipitation and snowpack, particularly in the northern half, contributed to above normal runoff in the basin. 📈As a result, the water supplies (precipitation + runoff – evaporation) were well above normal in March. Along with the transition to Spring, the Lake Michigan-Huron mean water level rose from February to March, beginning its seasonal rise. Over the next few months, Lake Michigan-Huron is forecast to continue this rise and peak around July before beginning its seasonal decline. 🖇To check out the latest 6-month water level forecast, please visit our website at the following link: https://lnkd.in/gdSzCRsV and the link to the Midwestern Regional Climate Center’s March precipitation graphic: https://lnkd.in/gJcizjNY #HydraulicsandHydrologyHumpDay #GreatLakesWaterLevels U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Ohio River Division | U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District | U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District

👨💼 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers monitors and forecasts the water levels of each of the Great Lakes. 📈 Seasonal changes in weather patterns typically cause an annual trend of rising and falling of Great Lakes water levels. 🌦 Each of the Great Lakes exhibits a seasonal rise in the spring primarily caused by an increase in liquid precipitation, increased runoff due to melting of accumulated snow, and low evaporation rates. ⛄️ The typical seasonal decline of the water levels occurs during the fall and winter, and is primarily caused by an increase in evaporation, a decrease in precipitation, and the accumulation of snowpack on the land area. 📲 https://lnkd.in/gzUieRf5 #USACE #DetroitDistrict #GreatLakes #WaterLevels

Citizens showed up to talk to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and local officials about the recently launched General Investigation (GI) study of the Tittabawassee River Watershed. At the March 20 open house, community members shared their flood stories, concerns, and ideas on how to reduce the severity and frequency of flooding in the Midland area.
