Ecological Consequences of Physical Alteration
The Great Lakes, their connecting channels, and the lands they drain are part
of a single, connected, ecological system. The major source of new water
entering this system not only comes from the land, but moves through the land.
Alterations in timing and amount of water supplied to the lakes not only impact
downstream interests that desire to use the system’s water for economic
purposes, but impact water dependent natural resources near to those alterations,
and distant from them in space and time.
