SNIP That's one hell of a burden you carry for the rest of us and I, *for one, *want to thank you for your service. ;+}} Burden? Dave Now post a link per stream flow data for Wisconsin, . . . more than the Fed data if possible. Don't have any links to stream flow data in Wisconsin. *I think I may have had something for the middle branch of the Ontonagon River (U.P., not Wisconsin) some years ago when I learned about a controversy about diverting the water, but those disappeared along time ago. *Nothing else. *The thing is, generally, stream flow is not much of an issue in this part of the world. *There's oodles of water everywhere around here. *In fact, it's kind of hard to find a dry spot to sit on in Michigan or Wisconsin. *Not much reason to fight over water......not much reason to be obsessed with stream flow data. *Quite naturally, this abundance of water here has led to a burgeoning of water intensive enterprises, unlike places where a relative dearth of water has led, quite unnaturally, to a burgeoning of water intensive enterprises.....and a concommitant obsession with stream flow data. Well, that's what ya get when EVERYBODY wants ALL of the paltry supply of water, ainna? *I mean, ya might as well try agribusiness in a ****in' desert, eh? g. you're welcome.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah sure. Near as I can tell most of those cute little rivers ya got there never flood, unless there is some federal disaster money around to scam. Anyway I always get a kick at those stream structures you folk like to build on trout streams. Reminds me of Boy Scouts and the pole and rope fun we used to have. Keep up the effort. Well then, it would seem that with such natural advantages in your aquarian State, and such a clear and simple personal understanding of agribusiness, western water policy, and so much more, you could have an incredible career as a motivational speaker in Midwestern farm circles. My guess is that you could also probably put the Wisconsin Fish agencies straight on why they have so much difficulty with natural repro, huh? Stream flows not an issue huh? While you are at it maybe you could be a catalyst in reducing Wisconsin's use of Western coal-fired dirty power production. Like maybe folks need to learn to turn off some of those lights we see so clearly in the satellite pix? And that Forest Service lab those nasty politicians have managed to retain in Wisconsin, despite the fact that most of the real forestry research needs are in the West and the South? Go tell them that they don't need to cling to those hundreds of feather-bedded jobs, why there is a future for them in, wait for it . . . Wisconsin Agriculture. Be their leader. Hooray. Come out West and be our King and start your own religion. Seriously Wolfgang, In my own limited way I have skin in the game, real land, real water, real money. I have made decisions and investments and done work that is motivated by my desire to make an actual contribution to a healthy river environment. Different decisions could easily make more money. But the choices ive made make me feel good, and produce a reasonable return. Why not go find more things that make you feel good, and cut back on the snippity? I myself am a great example of moderation you could learn much from. Dave Cheese Kills |
