Projection Shows Water Woes Likely Based on Warmer Temperatures
West Lafayette, IN - Several Midwestern states could be facing increased winter and spring flooding, as well as difficult growing conditions on farms, if average temperatures rise, according to a Purdue University researcher.
Keith Cherkauer, an assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering, ran simulation models that show Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan could see as much as 28 percent more precipitation by the year 2070, with much of that coming in the winter and spring. His projections also show drier summer and fall seasons.
... a belated response to a recent post by lds regarding Global Warming that references an earlier post about " Global Warming for Dummies... I've seen this for at least the last two years in the Michigan/Ohio/Indiana area... lots of heavy precipitation/snowmelt in February/March and drier summers... we'll see how this year goes.
