Diversion at Byington

[cpierce]

I watched the news report and interview. I understand the need to provide water for their canal. What I don't understand is why they aren't' responsible for changes that they made to the navigability of the river. Seems like they could still get water to the canal and have an area that is safe for boats to go through. If it is rocks from an old diversion, they should be responsible to remove the ones that are now hazards. IMHO a water right does not equal doing whatever you want without responsibility for those actions to other stake holders.

Okay, I'm better now. [blush]
