This is just a thought but, why let water out to keep a river flowing that would be dry if their was no lake to supply stored water? Man can use some other means of transporting goods other than a barge. But what he can't do is make it rain in a certain spot. This was the worst in10 year drought..... Then the worst in 20 years then 30 then 50, now I read 170 year drought!!! Man can't make it rain!!!! This could go on for 5 years we don't know. Water we release today to dredge a soon to be dry river could be needed 3 years from now to water crops or cattle,or humans. This is MAN playing GOD. Nobody knows for sure. When this will end. 20 years from now we could be talking about the GREAT ALABAMA DUST BOWL. What a story that would be for the grandkids.....We just thought the rain would come back..........it never did. Even a squirral is smart enough to store nuts for the winter.
