Natural Streams and the Legacy of Water-Powered Mills

[MCCRon58]

“”””Many hydrologists and geologists say people embark on projects without fully understanding the waterways they want to restore and without paying enough attention to what happens after a project is finished.””””

Isn't this, in a nutshell, what always happens when the enviro-fascists, and greenie-weinies have their way??

The scientists say 18th- and 19th-century dams and millponds, built by the thousands, altered the water flow in the region in a way not previously understood.

Reparations needed immediately!

Imagine how much in taxes was wasted because they had no clue to what was there origially. IMHO, you would need high grade topographic maps like the military uses and good geology reports. I don’t think they were in existence at the time. I wonder how good were the surveys that George Washington and his contemporaries made?

--there is a section of stream passing through a section of my family farm in Wisconsin which has been undisturbed by cattle or anything else for about forty years now.

In that time , good ole Mother Nature has rearranged the stream bed beyond recognition from what it was when I was in high school---and that was even before the present year with record rains (not seen since 1993)--

Dubya's fault, no doubt.

This pond stratification should only exist for several hundred ft above the former location of the dam - the area below should be primal pristine making it very obvious.
