How Do You Determine Historic High Water Tables Of The Great Lakes?
A water table is the level of underground water in an area — in this case, the Great Lakes region. The water table may fluctuate based on weather, as well as other factors such as the composition of the rock or ground in the area. Historically high water table levels may be linked to historic flooding in the area. Low levels may demonstrate a drought, as ground water is as easily accessible when the water table for an area is low. Open the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website. Historic Great Lakes Levels are available through the Detroit District web page. Select the lake of interest from the drop-down menu. Select the year, or years, of interest from the drop-down menu.
