In 2001, mysterious sinkholes were discovered in northern Lake Huron. They’ve attracted researchers from around the world. But how much water comes through the sinkholes? What role do they play in determining how lake levels rise and fall? That’s what Steve Ruberg's, observing systems researcher with NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory research team is trying to find out.

Website 1: Enbridge Line 5 is a major oil pipeline in the Enbridge Lakehead System, which conveys petroleum from western Canada to eastern Canada via the Great Lakes states. Line 5 is particularly notable for passing under the environmentally sensitive Straits of Mackinac, which connect Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. Website 2: Every day, nearly 23 million gallons of oil flow through two aging pipelines in the heart of the Great Lakes, just 1.5 miles west of the Mackinac Bridge.

Going all the way back to elementary school to when we first started asking about the possibility of lake water seepage and hence flowing into the salt mines we've always been told "Oh, no. That could never happen." Without any explanation or reason why it can not. So my answer to your question is of course. 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. Might be a few hundred years from now but I think it'll happen.

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.

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 4 жыл бұрын

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 4 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

@@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.

@@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.

They are sinkholes formed by collapsed limestone caves. All the bedrock of the lower peninsula and most of the UP is limestone the caves were collapsed by the glaciers. 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.
