What has happened to Silver lake? I have been going to Waterloo park for a few years now and this puddle isn't what it used to be. I have looked at historic photos of a floating platform that kids used to jump off of into the water. Today, jumping into the lake would likely cause serious injury if not death.
The Canada Goose population, as out of control as it is, seems to use this lake exclusively as a toilet. It is pretty gross. The water level always seems to be very low.
What has caused this? Have we diverted the source somehow? The city website reports 2 centuries ago, 8 - 10k tons of ice were taken from this lake yearly. I can't imagine that volume today.
I took a picture last night of a relatively high water level in the lake and I still see it is very low as far as lakes go.
