Connections: Understanding the rising lake levels

WXXI News | By Evan Dawson
Published May 12, 2017 at 2:57 PM EDT

What's causing the rising lake levels? How much of the criticism is political; how much is fair? We look at Plan 2014, and we explore what's really going on. Our guests:

  • Veronica Volk, reporter and producer for Great Lakes Today
  • Dr. Karen Berger, lecturer in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Rochester
  • Dr. Frank Sciremammano Jr., member of the International Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Board
  • Frank Bevacqua, public information officer for the International Joint Commission
