In a recent opinion piece from the Montreal Gazette, F. Pierre Gingras -- a retired Hydro-Quebec planning executive -- discusses the potential impacts of climate change on water levels in the St. Lawrence River Basin. Gingras notes that "climate change experts predict that water volumes and levels in the St. Lawrence River Basin will continue to dwindle over time, falling by 20 per cent to 30 per cent from existing levels over this 21st century."
