You and I must read things differently.  What I understood is that APCO did exactly as prescribed by law and fiat to operate the dam responsibly, in accordance with the best known practices at the time.  Weather predicting has come a long way in only the 7 years since the event that precipitated the lawsuit, especially in regards to rainfall associated with storms. The new license agreement allows for greater leeway and more prophylactic measures on the part of APCO in regards to "drawdowns" prior to rain events that can/will cause flooding.

Both the trial court and the appellate court  ruled/upheld the summary judgement.  That says to the farmers, you have no case now go home and farm.  So I think I understand where you were coming from in so much as the farmers tried to make it sound like APCO owed them special consideration and APCO failed to provide it, but that argument doesn't hold water, wonderful pun intended :).
