Generally speaking, lake levels are relatively stable. When it begins to flood, it does cause a lot of problems. People sort of live on the edge of the lake, depending on the communities. And then the other thing that happens is tributaries, rivers, that sort of stuff. Closer to the lake, those things are these tributaries, rivers, they're directly reflected, right? So where these rivers flow into the lake, that entire area will essentially become elevated with the existing lake level. And this can lead to either backflows, where water sometimes flows upriver, especially if the winds are blowing at some angle, where you get a seash type effect, or the lake level gets more water gets blown to one side of the lake versus the other. And also, because the lake level is higher, downstream you'll have a bit of a bulging effect, right?
