Cranberry lake, with a water surface area of 12.8 square miles, 

 could furnish additional storage if the present dam were raised 

 a few feet. Black lake, with a water surface of 17.2 square miles, 

 is virtually an enlargement of Indian river and greatly aids in 

 regulating the flow at Ogdensburg, offering a chance for additional 

 storage at a reasonable cost.
