    150' aint no joke. Why would they do that?

    I believe I read something about water politics a few years ago.

    Quite a few reasons... major one was the spat between water authority and blm.....they couldn't put in the new straw unless the water dropped 150',...next the sq miles of water surface was causing millions of gallons of water loss to evaporation, also there was not enough current is the shallow areas like overton and vegas wash... so those areas were just causing water pollution to millions of gallons of water...the stagnet water was horrible....now mean is super clean water and my boat doesn't get the bad scum lines like havasu...

    Know very well what you're talking about, you should see how crazy Lake of the Ozarks has gotten the last ten years, it's a ZOO now, it used to be a quaint small town, now it has all the big box stores and chains, I liked it better before it got this busy, almost to crowded now.

    Not just traffic in town, but boat traffic will get worse, more or bigger isn't always better.

    Been twice, about ten years ago, we rented a boat two days with a driver and got tanked up both days, not a big fan of drunk boat drivers, had a great time.
