Where Has All The Water Gone?

Lake Michigan's water level has been way down for the passed couple of years. The small lakes in our area are so low that the piers are out of the water. We took a trip by our daughter and couldn't help but notice that all the lakes there were down, way passed the piers. Some looked like they had dried up; with all the grass and reeds growing, where water used to be. The summers have been hot, but not that hot, that someone would say evaporation! What is going on? I, myself, and a lot more people would like to know the answer. What is happening to this great state for fishing?

A few years ago we had a well put in to assist in adding to the lake level of a small lake in our area. It hasn't helped! Between ground saturation and evaporation the water hasn't gone up. It is actually going down. But where? What was once a beautiful lake is now turning into a muck-hole. What is this doing to the fish and other water creatures? Concentrated fish and critter poop! High nitrogen will kill them! EAGH!!!!! Swimming this summer-NOT! Will the fish become diseased? Who will want to eat them? Will the water get so concentrated with bacteria that the animals that come down to the water to drink, will become sick and die? Is anyone doing anything about this? Or are some people so preoccupied with all the other things around them that they don't see? What is going on?
