Dave R....that would be true if the outflow from Winnisquam were closed and there was no more inflow into Winnipesaukee. The reality is that the outflow from Winnisquam generally keeps up with the inflow from Winnipesaukee. The outflow from Winnisquam increases with the rise in lake elevation. Agree, more flow from Winnipesaukee will increase the level of Winnisquam, but it's not a direct ratio of surface areas of the two lakes.

Also, I don't think anyone is sacrificing one for the other, it was just a point of consideration.
