Common sense on dams, water missing

    What happened to common sense? Emotions seem to drive politics. The lake is low so farmers may get water later. If the outflow from Klamath Lake had been cut by 5 percent maybe the lake would have the missing 1 foot of water.

    Would the fish downstream have missed the 5 percent? What happens if the crops are late? Maybe higher prices? Then, we will have complaints of rising food prices.

    We are told the dams on the Klamath River must be removed. Why? So the salmon can come back to Upper Klamath Lake.

    What happens in a dry summer (future global warming) when the lake and dams have no storage and the river run dry? Salmon will surely suffer from the lack of cool water.
