Every Monday Great Lakes Echo runs video clips of random people answering questions that experts believe environmentally literate citizens should understand. In the last clip an expert explains the correct answers.
This week’s question is “What is a watershed?”
This week’s expert is Joan B. Rose, the Homer Nowlin Chair in Water Research, co-director of the Center for Advancing Microbial Risk Assessment and the director of the Center for Water Sciences — all at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich.
Within the Great Lakes watershed, which is huge,there are functions of ice and water within any given calender year. “ICE BOOM THEORY” explains what happens when the New York Power Authority stops the natural ice movement from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. There are at least 4 equally huge reactions to the inhibited ice flow that were not anticipated back in 1964 when the “Ice Boom” was first deployed. Like a blockage in some one’s colon, slow painful death has begun. Current profit margins are protected by lies and deceit and weak people dare not challenge the status quo.
