The Great Lakes in the Midwest comprise the largest unfrozen freshwater stores on EarthWrong! Lake Baikal in Russia has more water than all the great lakes combined. What else in the article is wrong?

Well, Lake Calumet and environs are pretty low. A lot of Steel Slag was used to fill in low marshy areas. The Irony! U.S.S. shutting plants at a time when their by-product could be used to counter alleged lake level rise! ;)

1) Establish the arbitrary lake level considered ideal.
2) Build spillways connected to a massive piping system.
3) Irrigate the dry parts of the US while preventing flooding around the lakes.

I almost commented earlier today but since you pinged me I will. Yes lots of steel slag. Even down deep under our vegetable garden. 111th and Avenue M on the East Side is where I grew up. Most everyone in the neighborhood worked in the mills. Dad always fished in Lake Calumet from shore. A few times we had so much rain all the sewers backed up and we had water in the basement.

I remembered you saying that! When I lived in Chicago I had a friend who drove from Ravenswood down to USS in I think Sauganash? to work.
(Somewhere in the Cal-Sag canal area anyway!)
