Thanks, I am really glad to know that. It is much better to know that they were drained because of actual need rather than a power struggle over the proposed dam.
Most farmers try to keep a good balance, and I understand the need for water. Sometimes they have to look at the fish as being replaceable, but it is hard to replace their whole livelihood. Without the irrigation needs we wouldn't have very many places to fish around here. The farmers have invested a lot of money in creating these reservoirs and there is a lot of upkeep on them caused by a few discourteous recreational users.
