PERTINENT COMMENT ON BALANCING THE BASIN

If you read the comments on Balancing The Basin you have already seen this.  If not you may be interested in an exchange from a member of Save Our Lakes Now with the Corps. This comes after numerous back and forth comments between one member of Save Our Lakes Now and the Corps:


First and foremost you have abandoned protecting recreation (meaning the full
infrastructure that provides for recreation on our lakes) when you allow the lakes to drop 10 ft or 8 ft and make no effort to get the lakes back to normal fill levels. Second, you or someone has changed the trigger levels shown on your site to conform with what you are now saying which is dishonest. Third, trying to use flow rates in the broad river to tell you whether the basin is in drought is absurd. Lake levels give a very accurate picture of where we are in a drought and are far more reliable. It is my hope that Save Our Lakes NOw will continue to bring your demonstrated refusal to protect Recreation to the attention of our politicians until we get relief from your lack of respect for lake interests.
