So whats the problem, are they not managing the locks & lake levels properly?

the TSW "engineer" who manages the level says its not his fault. We are at historic new high levels and flow rate that has continued for over a week. I think they are letting too much water out the dams further north.

flow over the dam is now 86 cubic meters per second and lake is about 6 feet over normal. was 11 cubic meters per second at the beginning of the month, this maintains a normal level on the lake

Local news was talking about high water and some over flow around dam 4 on the Trent. Seems the system may be saturated down stream.

Send the water to Georgian Bay?
They really need it there.
