Reports & Publications. News & Resources. Reports & Publications. News & Resources. The hypotheses we have formulated are based on data collection and hands-on research. We do not believe any one action has contributed to the expansion of the lake, rather a combination of multiple changes over time. Land cover/land use changes increase surface runoff into lakes. Lake water level rise due to increased lake bed sedimentation. Regional and local hydro-climatic changes. Global climate change is affecting the...
