At the end of June, Lake Huron was about 25 inches (63 centimetres) below what it was a year ago. " The result for cottage owners and marina operators has been the .return of wider beaches and shallower water channels. " In some cases,. shorelines have been drastically re -altered by what appears to he the emergence of a low water cycle on the lakes. The 11.S. Army Corps of. Engineers in Detroit says that by the end of July Lake Huron will drop another inch, continuing its seasonal' decline into December. By the end of the year, Lake Huron is expected, to be 12 inches (25 centimetres) below its December.. 1976 level, putting the lake below its long-term average for that month. or about 32 inches below the all-time December high set in 19,3 at the height of high water levels. The level of Lake St. Clair was about I'; inches (about tit', centimetres) below what it was a year ago. or about two inches • (five centimetres) below its level at the end of May. Lake Erie's water level at the end of .June was about 14 inches (about 36 centifinetres) below that of a year ago and about two inches below what it was at the end of May. According to officials at the Canada Centre for ,Inland Waters at -Burlington. ex- tremely dry weatherthis summer and fall would produce below -normal water levels on all the Great Lakes. "With the possible ex- ception of Lake Superior even extremely wet weather over the next six months would not raise any of the Great Lakes above last December's elevations." an Environment 'Canada spokesman said. Lake Ontario already has fallen . below its long-term average level fo"r this time of year, down.about nine inches (92 centimetres) from its long-term average, or about 'R inches (';l centimetres) below that of a year ago.
