Lacustuary definition

Lacustuary means a freshwater estuary where river and lake waters mix, especially near large bodies of fresh water such as the great lakes. These lacustuaries are slack water that can ebb and flow as lake seiches affect water levels and are generally located between the farthest downstream riffle of the tributary and lake Erie proper. All tributaries of lacustuaries shall be considered lacustuaries below the lake Erie mean high water level.

Lacustuary means a river or stream reach where water from a direct lake Erie tributary mixes with lake Erie waters. A lacustuary is a slack water reach of a given tributary that ebbs and flows as lake seiches affect water levels, and is generally located between the farthest downstream riffle of the tributary and lake Erie proper. In addition to direct lake Erie tributaries, all inland streams and rivers that are tributary to a lake Erie lacustuary are considered a lacustuary in reaches affected by the lake Erie water level.
