The steps or linear curbs were built into a test portion of a canal and found to work perfectly, but Lesicka said Bureau of Reclamation engineers feared for the canal's structural integrity with the steps. Lesicka said this decision was made without any engineering support, and the agency decided that fencing and off-canal watering sites would be cheaper and safer.

Gosh.

This enviro activist isn't accepting a "structural integrity" answer from engineers trying to lay canal across desert wasteland and through earthquake and fault territory.

Gee.

Wonder what the deer drank in the desert BEFORE the old canal was laid?

Reports from fellow hunters who have visited the canal say there are no steps in the canal. Something the Water District promises they would do to prevent the drownings.

Just concerned hunters here, that is all. Yall can toss all them clueless labels as long as you want. Some of the ignorant replies here really make me wonder. I'm an enviro activist because some goobermint agency screwed the pooch for the 2nd times killing deer and bighorn sheep????? Love that line of logic

To the goof who claimed deer were everywhere, obviously you haven't spent much time around the desert. Seeing a deer or bighorn is not something you'll see everday like in the midwest, the deer densities are miniscule compared to whitetails.
