The water level in the lake

[edit]

According to one source, the water level in the lake rose 3 metres with the completion of the Trent-Severn Waterway [1]. However, another source said:

It is important to note that Lake Simcoe water levels do not actually fluctuate all that much (see chart). Historic lows run at 218.4 metres and historic highs run at 219.5 metres. Actual fluctuations over the course of any one year are even smaller.

[2]

That's a difference of only 1.1m, enough to stop people from wading from Georgina Island to the mainland, but not the 3 metres in the other source. I don't know what caused this inconsistency, but it could be due to some confusion between feet and metres. Could some local person sort this out?

I have now changed the wording and added the other source as a citation. I hope that the revised wording reflects the information in both sources without actually mentioning by how much the level of the lake has risen, as that fact does not appear to be clear at this stage.
