1 Determine the minimum necessary flow in the Alabama River to not cause enviormental damage.
2 Determine the flow into all impoundments that affect the flow of the Alabama River.
3 Flow out of all impoundments an amount equal to the amount flowing in, excepting the southernmost impoundment that is not at full pool. The southernmost impoundment would retain all waters not necessary to flow the minimum determined in step one until it flled.
4 Upon filling the southernmost impoundment begin working north until all impoundments are at full pool.
5 When all impoundments are at full pool, release all excess in flow, but no more, thus keeping all impoundments full and flowing the river by the amount set by God and mother nature.

Let God and mother nature take care of the mussels etc. Dams and impoundments were made by man for man, not for mussels.

well, not really simple but I certainly agree with your last sentence

There certainly should have been provisions in the original law regarding the protection of the mussels that would have allowed for automatic cessation of compliance with this law until the drought abated and water resources reach normal or near-normal levels. But no, that would have been too logical for government thinkers. !!

Not sure I can agree with you and Kizma, since that would mean that I put man above God. God made mussels, and man made the dams and impoundments, so which one is more important to God is obvious to me.

And I'm sure someone will respond by saying that God gave us the capacity to dam the rivers. Yes he did. He also gave us the capacity to commit murder, but that doesn't mean that He condones that, in fact the Bible specifically states that He does not.

I didn't realize God was so big on shellfish. That must be new-testament-God; He's more of a lover than the old-testament fighter God......

He thinks enough of them to have created them in the first place, I guess you're saying He didn't know what he was doing?

I don't think I'll be joining your church! But I am in favor of Freedom of Religion, so you can keep believing whatever you want; He'll sort it all out in the end.

I don't thnk that my proposal would hurt the mussels unless G0d's plan did.

You see enough water would flow to protect the mussels untill the lakes all filled up.

In droughts occurring after the fillup, all lakes would flow as much out as they had flowing in. This would result in the same amount of flow during a drought as there would have been had there been no drought, or the amount of flow that God and mother nature had chosen to supply without supplement or depletion by the dams

Go back to the Old Testament and see who was given dominion of and had domain over the animals and come back and tell me about the snail-darters, spotted owls, etc. And, if P.E.T.A. is monitoring this, I take it all back. Those freaks scaaaaaaarre me.

People Eating Tasty Animals

I often look at a pasture full of cows and wonder if they know how good they taste!! I have to assume they don't, or they would be cannalbillistc.

To think that God gave man carte blanche to plunder and destroy the earth is simply ludicrous. He is its Creator! Why would He immediately command Adam to ruin it? Would any woodworker, upon just finishing a beautifully stained piece of furniture, tell his son to break it up for firewood? No! Just as God desires for His creation, the woodworker would put his handiwork to use and also care for it by keeping it waxed and dusted to prolong its life.

This is exactly what God told Adam. Genesis 2 contains a parallel account of creation, adding detail to certain parts of the narrative of the first chapter. Notice God's expanded instruction: "Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend [dress, KJV] and keep it" (verse 15). This greatly modifies the force of "have dominion" and "subdue it" from Genesis 1:26, 28!

Tend (Hebrew 'abad) means "to work or serve," and thus referring to the ground or a garden, it can be defined as "to till or cultivate." It possesses the nuance seen in the KJV's choice in its translation: "dress," implying adornment, embellishment, and improvement.

Keep (Hebrew shamar) means "to exercise great care over." In the context of Genesis 2:15, it expresses God's wish that mankind, in the person of Adam, "take care of," "guard," or "watch over" the garden. A caretaker maintains and protects his charge so that he can return it to its owner in as good or better condition than when he received it.

To Noah, God gives a similar command after the Flood:

So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. (Genesis 9:1-2)

Once again God gives man dominion over all other life on the earth, and with this renewed authority comes the implicit responsibility to tend and keep what was explicitly given to Adam. In this post-Flood world, God gives mankind a second chance to use and preserve the resources He had so abundantly provided. To that end Noah, after 120 years as a preacher and shipwright, took up farming and planted a vineyard (verse 20). We can assume, from what we know of human nature, that this attitude of stewardship did not pass to very many of his descendants.

If GOD caused the floods to kill evil mankind then maybe he caused the drought to kill the mussels. Acording to the old testament we aren't suppose to eat any bottom feeders anyway.
