<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 3, 2012) An exhibit in Elizabethtown uses debris, photos and video to tell the story of the destruction and devastation that was experienced in the region as a result of last year&apos;s Tropical Storm Irene and the Lake Champlain floods. More than 40 of the best photos from local photographers from last spring and summer were chosen for use in the exhibit, which closes on Columbus Day.  Todd Moe talks with director Margaret Gibbs about the Raging Rivers exhibit at the Adirondack History Center Museum.

<title>North Country dam authority wins round in court</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19868/20120523/north-country-dam-authority-wins-round-in-court</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 23, 2012) A new ruling by a state Supreme Court could force five counties in the North Country and the Hudson Valley to pay millions of dollars a year to help fund dam operations in the southern Adirondacks. The decision found that it is reasonable for counties to be charged for the benefits they receive in the form of flood protection from dams located on Great Sacandaga and Indian Lake. As Brian Mann reports, county leaders in the North Country say footing the bill for dam operations would add new pressure on taxpayers at a time when budgets are already tight.

<title>St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario communities at odds over water levels</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19819/20120514/st-lawrence-river-and-lake-ontario-communities-at-odds-over-water-levels</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 14, 2012) Water levels in the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario have been regulated since the 1950s.  Levels have been controlled, so they can’t rise too high, or drop too low.  But the International Joint Commission wants to change that, because the IJC says it’s been bad for the environment.  Many scientists and environmental groups support the IJC’s plan to allow the water to flow more naturally.  But some lake-shore property owners fear that the high water will wash their homes away.  Julie Grant reports. Carlet Cleare of WXXI in Rochester assisted in the production of this story.

<title>Year of the Floods Part Two:  The Fury of Lake Champlain</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19570/20120327/year-of-the-floods-part-two-the-fury-of-lake-champlain</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 27, 2012) Yesterday we kicked off our pledge drive week with a look back at the North Country&apos;s Year of the Floods.  Brian Mann reported on historic spring rains and snow melt that sent rivers across the North Country surging beyond their banks, ripping through mountain towns. Much of that water flowed into Lake Champlain, triggering a secondary flood in communities in New York, Vermont and Quebec that lasted for weeks.  This morning, we look back at how dozens of shore towns weathered the long crisis.

<title>Fracking floods!</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 9, 2011) The news has been dominated this week by more flooding from the remnants of hurricane Lee, and the release from the state’s environmental agency of a draft final report on hydrofracking. As Karen DeWitt reports, a key state lawmaker says there are several areas in which these two issues converge.
