Water Managers do have a different approach as they are responsible for the delivery of water to the users. However, if a body of water was built with public funds, with dual purpose as part of the reason to spend the money, then the public needs to be able to use the recreation portion of the water.
Yuba could be come no boat due to the fact that IPP owns the water, but do they own the basin ?? I don't know how that works.
I wish my grandfather was still alive, he was an expert in water law and could answer many of these questions.
The bottom line is that if we want to continue to have access to public and private waters, we are all going to have to be very diligent to make sure that these little critters do not get introduced anywhere else.
