The article closes by quoting an historian involved: "Having our rivers back (flooded) and keeping the engravings submerged will help preserve them, even more than our work."

Think of those dinosaur fossil teeth that survived buried for hundreds of millions of years, only to get dug up by a fossil hunter, sold to a collector, lives on the collectors mantlepiece for 40 years, then lives in boxes in the collectors sons attic for 60 years, and finally gets trashed (incinerated, destroying it).
