Uneven Rainfall Keeps Water In Lake George
An official from the Bureau of Mineral Resources notes that uneven rainfall has kept Lake George at eight to ten feet depth since 1849, with a maximum of 13 feet in mid-1953. A five to six year cycle of even rainfall could cause the lake to fall and possibly dry up. The bureau has tracked levels monthly since 1849, and a one foot change could reduce the lake’s area by hundreds of yards.
