This is a terrible idea, From the perspective of someone who knows nothing about agriculture, and the water cycle. Trees encourage the retention of water in the ground, Their roots penetrate the clay soils, which on a microscopic level appeal as layers of paper: pour water on a pile of newspaper and it sheds off, allow water to penetrate and that clay can hold 1/3 of it's volume in water. The removal of beaver dams, building of fences and roadways, is what has caused your environmental damage. Before people began to manage the land in this way, It was rich with water and fertile. When you think to take water from farmers, so that you can take a long shower or grow a landscape in your yard, you are part of the problem.
