Rivers are Running!! Fill them lakes up

[Savageman2506]

Went to Lake Mary spillway today for a class project, Lower Mary is completely full, bank to bank, and more still flowing in. Good for recharging the aquifer around Flag. I wonder how long the water will hang around for. Lower Lake has a porous limestone bedrock.

I heard they are supposed to stock lower lake Mary today with trout.

Enjoyed the video, I've never been to Bartlett so it was interesting the last section of the video talking about restructuring the dam to hold more water. Enough for another 350,00 homes.........crazy to think about all the water necessary to maintain the valley sprawl.

I bet the residents of Rio Verde have their eyes on that.

What’s really crazy is we use less water now than an in the 1950s

Not happy at all I had my share of hoeing cotton as a kid, just don't know how to do any other emoji on my computer..........

Can you imagine in todays world dropping a kid off in the field with a flat bastard, a hoe and a water jug telling him you'll be back at noon and pick you up for lunch........
