The water levels are very bad for commerce all around the towns affected.It is also bad for our real estate people to try to explain it that you
can't use your lake in mid-July, August, September, October.You don't use your boats, ski do's, etc. either because you can't get your boat out on the lakes.The boat landings have sand all around and can't launch them there either.If it is tied to your pier and you are gone south to your home and didn't come up for a few weeks,your boat could be "beached."

It is a bad situation all around.The bar owners have tried to state their case I have been told.No tourists,visitors, townspeople able to do these things lessens business for all involved.The kayak races seem to overrule though to drain the lakes for the important event?The south has gotten so much rain, but continue to let the water go south!
