The problems resulting from the

of a number of Governmental De-

Transport is' administrating the'
matters relative to ' shipping. and
the • intricate problems of . • inter

traffic in the . St. Lawrence' .' Sea-
way. The National Harbours Board

istr. ations The Department: of Pu-

The problems of pollution 'are
tremendous and are greatly " ex-
aggerated during periods • of low
lake •levels '
The Department of Public Works
is • endeavouring to rectify . -local
problems by a . modified dredging
program. Channel and basin ' dred-
ging is in progress along Lake.
Huron and 'is partially, completed
in the larger' harbours. At some
of the tourist areas,; channel dred-
ging is • being ° employed as a
means of assistance 'to The tour-
ist industry.,: 1: • have consistantly
pressed for 'consideration on •their
behalf in order that . they may
continue to provide the necessary.
facilities for seasonal commerce.
upon which the tourist ' business
is dependent for its livelihood. •
'In; order to determine whether
measures within the Great Lakes
Basin can- 'be taken in the public
interest to regulate further the
levels of the lakes.or any of them
and their connecting waters so as
to reduce the extremes which
have -been experienced, ` •and . for
the beneficial, effects in, these wa-

them. For an understanding of the -
Water , .level variations it is es-- to'. understand -moth the :ef-
fects: of : the. ,natural forces and,
the "effects of the surface areas..
Lakes -Michigan . and Huron' have
,an average : elevation' of 578.8: feet. -
They
eet They. are connected by7the Straits
-orMackinacwhich is so' wide and
deep 'that : there. , is " no appairent
difference • in the water levels of
the two lakes. Therefore, any fac-
tor that ' affects the water .levels'
of one lake affects the level of
the ; other.
Lakes Michigan and Huron are
drained into. ` Lake Erie by the
St. Clair . River, Lake St. Clair
and the Detroit River. The -rate
of flow in; this outlet system is
primarily ` dependent on the' level
of Lake Huron. Since there is a
drop -of . seven' to nine feet: in the
eighty-four miles between Lake
Huron' • and. Lake Erie the . level
of Lake Erie;. also has effect on.
the flow of water out of :Lake
Huron..
Turning to' the Matter of pos-
sible remedies ` for the problems
of, water 'levels, it is unlikely that
man will be able to control: or
change the' fluctuating values 'of
precipitation, or evaporation. • Nor,
will • he be 'able to control. the
contribution of -groundwater to the
lakes system. The feasible way
which th levels' can be kept
at near;. constant height is'by a
'complicated control of the flow
from one :lake 'to :the other.and
into the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Therefore . the problem of lake
levels cannot be . solved by mas-
sive ' engineering construction; of
day to day controls without con-
sidering the 'secondary effects that
these structures and their opera-
tion will involve.. • •
The study of lake problems is
difficult and expensive but it is
only through fundamental research
that the situation which we face
will be solved, A8, the Committee
will be dealing, with those proh-
leans for a considerable per iod of
progress. '
