The river includes a 6.2-mile (10.0 km) federal navigation channel maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers at a depth of 23 feet (7.0 m) below lake level (along with an additional 1.4 miles [2.3 km] of the City Ship Canal).

The last time the sea level was higher than today was during the Eemian, about 130,000 years ago. [2] Over a shorter timescale, the low level reached during the LGM rebounded in the early Holocene, between about 14,000 and 6,500 years ago, leading to a 110 m sea level rise. Sea levels have been comparatively stable over the past 6,500 years ...

For example, in Europe the limit of time below LNWL is 20 ice-free days per year (e. g., on Rhine) or, alternatively, corresponds to 5–6% of the ice-free period on European rivers (6% on Danube [3]). [5] The highest navigable water level (HNWL) is defined as a water level that is exceeded for only a few days a year (usually 1%).
