    Growing up in Flint, Michigan and being an avid Fisherman it's only natural that I would be interested in the Great Lakes water and environmental conditions. The video was only 7:32 but very interesting though. I would enjoy viewing more of your videos and your research on these topics. I thank you for sharing, this deserves more but all I can leave is a 'Thumbs up', a click on the bell, a subscription, and hope I will see more of your works (fun). ;^))

    People complain about the costs of scientific research. Just look at the level of expense on this one project. To do it right they not only need everything on that ship, but the expertise of its crew and those on land outfitting and maintaining it. This is the why. Please support the sciences.

      Science demands Accuracy? LoL Especially not when we are now witnessing that polar ice samples are proving manmade global warming research is off by an exponent of ten! And because this information doesn't fit the narrative, it's not being as vigorously published or accepted. Just dismissed. Science of late is ignoring data when the data doesn't fit the preconceived notions. Funny, science did this before.... when proving the earth was not flat or when the Earth was not the center of the universe.

The large hole in the ground will eventually be filled in be it by lake water or what is now dry lands, leaving a large depression and environmental change.

      The Great Lakes were SO POLLUTED that you could not drink them since the '70s. Their health is a bit better now (since a lot of Industry no longer dumps effluent into them), but Flint's water was probably SAFER than drinking untreated water from the shallower Great Lakes (at least until lately).

    • @charlie21gunner87
      @charlie21gunner87 4 роки тому +2

      Come on people, think. Flint was pulling water from the Flint River which empties into Lake Huron. Also using a river as a source of drinking water can be very difficult because of frequent changes in water quality. Many cities have been using the great lakes for their source of drinking water and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

    • @g.k.1669
      @g.k.1669 4 роки тому +7

      Homefront-
      Flint's water was pulled from the river and sent through a normal filtration process. It was no different than the tap water that you drink except for one thing. They went cheap and did not add trisodium phosphate to the water.
      So why was this a problem?
      Trisodium phosphate is an additive that keeps water from leaching metals from the pipes as it acts as an anti corrosive. Water hates to be purified and will absorb minerals or metals from piping if TSP is not added. That is what happened in Flint Michigan. The water flowed through the normal pipes after it left the water mains under the streets and leached the lead and other metals from the piping that led into the homes. The lack of TSP caused the pipes to corrode.
      If you have an RO water system in your home and purify your drinking water (especially if you run it through a DI cartridge) when you drink that water you are actually leaching valuable minerals out of your bones. You should add some type of mineral or vitamin to your water to balance it before you drink it.Trisodium Phosphate is quite common and has multiple applications. Check the ingredients listing on processed foods that you eat, you will most likely see it listed near the bottom.

      Nope, The great lakes system is one of the largest water systems in the world. It wouldn't even register something like that. The one that happened in Louisiana is a good reference point for this. It was way smaller, so there was an initial drop, but the lake there is now bigger than it was prior. The mid-western water basin is quite resilient, but it is also way larger than we even know.

      @@tvojslauf , there is a symbiotic relationship between the ground water and the lake water, from aquifers and these sinkholes that can predict flooding and events surrounding the great lakes. Seeing as that has been concerning many of the larger cities in North America, like Chicago, Toronto, Detroit, Cincinnati, as well as smaller cities like Milwaukee, Buffalo, and Rochester, that's one way of looking at its usefulness. The other is the tradeoff in pollutants, fertilizers and toxic substances which impact our drinking water and the lakes ecosystem. This data can help pinpoint how far inland does our human activity have this tradeoff effect. I'm sure there are other ways we haven't even begun to understand from a hydrologic standpoint, and this information has major impact in the way we govern over major and minor infrastructure interests, and pass laws concerning our use of water. There is a lot of money tied up in water treatment, well digging, sewage treatment, polution control, boating, recreation, transportation, and a host of other smaller concerns.

There are dozens if not hundreds from Alpena across to lake Michigan up to the bridge. Some are still pristine limestone ruble holes. Others are filled with sand and resemble shallow bowls.

      Wake up guys. If you can’t already see the effects of climate change, you might be blind. Just because the lakes have higher water now doesn’t mean a thing. Just a few short years ago they did have record lows. It’s the wild swings of up and down that is caused by climate change, as is the arctic ice disappearing for polar bears, but most importantly the rising water temps. Maybe you will take notice after the fish disappear. By then it will be too late and you’ll say it’s the democrats fault. No it’s not likely the lakes will dry up and I’d love to see the research, article or anything that ever stated they would.

    I live in Michigan and our choice of swimming is Lake Huron at the very tip of the thumb. And growing up we swam, boating and water-skiing in Lake st. Clair which is a tiny little lake just about at where the thumb begins. This is some scary shit manard

      Water levels in Huron have a direct impact on flow through the St Clair River and through the St Clair flats (Lake St Clair). The shipping channel through the flats is the shallowest portion of the entire Great Lakes shipping channel system, that's the limiting factor on how heavy the boats can be loaded.

    • @IggyAndroid
      @IggyAndroid 3 роки тому

      @@otm646 thanks for the reply. I worked on luxery yachts and medium sized ships for many years doing underwater maintence and repairs as a diver. The governing bodies do beach restoration in my area every number of years and it has wreaked havoc on the intercoastal water ways. Yachts and ships are running their props aground causing svere damage to the props and sail boats are running their keels aground during lowtides. While its very profitable for my business its not a good issue overall for the the industry and yacht owners. Channel markers are usless in some areas and need to be moved or boat traffic should be rerouted which is a huge costly inconvinence.
