The problem will only get worse as more and more of our reservoirs shrink to unlaunchable levels. The remaining lakes will then get all the pressure of both kinds of water sports. They'll either have to limit the number of boats that can launch on a given day, or find some other way to insure safety.
I, too, am on board with that. It gets to be almost impossible to fish even when lakes are full, and the issue compounded as the water levels decrease. Alternating days would be the only way things could be enforced to any extent.
The pressure on our waters is almost unbelievable at times, as it is with our National Parks. Some of the later have tried various approaches to limit or time visitorship finding that an open free-for-all is just not working to anyones enjoyment.
