Boaters in many of the Mississippi and Rideau watershed lakes could get a shock
if they don’t keep the low water levels in mind, says the area’s conservation
authority. Lakes in the Mississippi system are anywhere from 10 to 80
centimetres lower than normal for this time of year, the area’s conservation
authority says. That means a lot of rocks and other hazards normally covered by
water are now close to the surface. via
