Water receding at Devil's Lake North Dakota
The U S Geological Survey notes a gradual drying of Devil's Lake also called Lake Minnewanka. Once fed by glacial runoff with a past outlet to the Cheyenne River, the lake has sunk below that channel and shows a steady decline over 19 years. Water has shifted from fresh to increasingly salty, reducing fish populations. A benchmark will guide ongoing study under Prof C M Hall to record fluctuations and climatic clues from this decline.
