It's so easy to gripe about "they" those evil dam builders, those destroyers of animals, plants and nature - then go home and eat your dinner that was watered and grown by water from a reservoir. Dams are an essential part of our modern society. Do these people not understand this? Why do environmentalists demonize farmers? Do environmentalists not eat food? The comments about "storing" water in the aquifer are diversionary idiocy. It's not possible to "inject" water into an aquifer.
a lake would bring lots of recreation and campgrounds to the areas. the anti-dam people only want this canyon for themselves since no one has access to it as of now unless they use one of the whitewater rafting companies who oppose the dam because they make money on the rapids.
rebuild this dam and make it a gem like lake mead is a gem for recreation and outdoor activity.
it needs to be rebuilt. perfect canyon for hydroelectric and irrigation. it should not be a playground for a few wealthy eccentrics running rafting tours and hollywood weirdos living in driggs.ID no cement dam has ever collapsed in the usa.
water rates and hydro electricity would pay for the dam in no time.
the dam would only change a few miles of the canyon upstream. these throwbacks always use hysterics to prevent progress.
