It was called Monster slow growth: the huge lake, which has expanded steadily over the past 20 years, swallowing thousands of acres and hundreds of buildings and at least two towns in the waters rise.
Devils Lake keeps getting larger because it has no natural stream or river to carry the excess rainfall and melting snow. Now it has increased within 6 feet of flooding, raising fears that some communities can be washed away downstream if the water level is reduced.
This is exacerbated by fears of another problem: The scientists believe that the pattern of heavy rain and snow, which filled the basin is likely to continue for another ten years at least.
Almost quadrupled the size of Devils Lake since the early 1990s, and floods almost 150,000 acres of land, and sink a million trees and destroyed hundreds of homes and agricultural buildings. Many of those who lost their property in the water was eventually purchased by the State or Federal Governments. Included the acquisition of small cities from Pennsylvania and phrases churches, despite the fact that some people are still in all societies.
