It's not an exact science.
Way back in the day, there was no damn and the lake level was high and then it was low. Who did people complain abut then?
It is what it is, they are doing the best that they can.
I have a bumper sticker that someone gave me from England and I have it on my wall at work: Keep Calm and Carry On
For the prior 65 years I've been coming here, no problem. Then, three years in a row? The low water last year was an anomaly, but the rain in the spring was forecasted as it has been for decades. So when something, for over 60 years all of a sudden changes what was the change that made that happen? The management of the Lakeport Dam. I was told the operation was sold to a Canadian concern.
