joseph Rosseau and Muskoka dump into the moon river, no where near the trent severn waterway..its a completely different system. the moon has a few hydro dams on its way down to georgian bay that slows the flow down considerably.. they can't spill water out of Muskoka too fast otherwise they would flood the residents of the moon river Again

The Moon dumps into Georgian Bay......that's one end of the Trent.
You are completely correct....they can't spill water through Bala to fast or it'll flood residents on the Moon.....that's where the management aspect (or lack there of) comes into play. I can remember lots of winters when water (ice) levels on Rosseau & Muskoka were drawn down 36"- 48" below normal summer levels in anticipation of heavy spring run off. That amount of draw down hasn't happened in the last several years.
The 2 significant flood events we've seen in the last few years didn't occur after winters (or spring rains) that were that extraordinary......some flooding was to be expected but not to the extent we saw......
Just sayin......
