As someone whose lake was reclassified as man made after we were promised that wouldn't happen if a dam was built (because our lake exists with or without their damn dam), whose lake ecosystem has been wrecked by the damn management to keep downward water commitments even though we were promised that wouldn't happen, and to top it off, our water rights stolen so that the Feds could allocate it to other visible 'prestige' and/or court ordered commitments that supersede our water rights and local ecosystem, I have zero trust in Pacific Northwest watershed management.
They may have their 'prestige' projects like this to show the good they are doing, but the damage they are doing to less visible water sheds and their failures to keep to their previous commitments is just more of the same. And again a lot of this isn't about science but about lost court cases to restore certain 'winning' watersheds, meaning this isn't being done in the best manner just in the matter to meet the first winners to get to court. What happens when we all go to court and they can't just reallocate everything to their 'prestige' and first to court judgement projects?
