The accumulated rain in Canton over the course of the past three days, has lead to some exaggerated flooded of the Little and Grasse Rivers. Over two inches of rain in the past 48 hours have lead to an overflowing river system. With most of the ground already saturated, the water table has risen to a flood state, negatively impacting the recreational trails surrounding the waterways, but positively reseting the aquatic ecosystem for the future. With a stronger current and newly introduced rainwater, the system will be flushed and cleared of sediment and debris as well as oxygenated in its riffles and pools. Although a flood may have some long term positive influences on the health of the river, the recent downfalls have certainly seemed to be unseasonal.
