Dear colleagues, We are in the process of selecting lakes along a gradient of annual water-level fluctuation for a study about the ecological impacts of winter drawdowns (for hydroelectricity) in Quebec and north eastern USA.
While there is public access to Quebec lake water-level fluctuation data, we haven't been able to access this information from US lakes. I would appreciate if you could point potential sources that might have this information, hopefully databases or data repositories. At least the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MEDEP) does not keep these data, and energy companies are reluctant to cooperate. We ignore if the situation is similar in other states. Any suggestion? Relevant references would also be welcome. Best, Cristian __________________________________ Cristian Correa Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Biology, McGill University 1205 Docteur Penfield, Room: W6/5 Montreal, Quebec H3A 1B1 Tel.: (514)-398-4119 [email protected] http://biology.mcgill.ca/grad/cristian _________________________________
