I know the rivers represent a significant amount of shoreline on top of that but one would think that riverfront properties would be more durable against higher levels and flows than the anomaly currently being reflected on Winni.

Lets say you decided to sacrifice the shoreline of Winnisqaum to save Winnipesaukee. You'd have to raise Winnisqaum nearly 11 inches to drop Winnipesaukee 1 inch due to the mauch greater surface area of Winnipesaukee.
