Win-win solution
published July 30, 2003
I wonder why the farmers, the Indians, and all those concerned with the lake problems can't get together, pool their resources and money and dredge the entire lake.
The Klamath River has been dredged from Veterans Park all the way to the Keno dam to a depth of 25 to 30 feet. The channel between Klamath Lake and Agency Lake has also been dredged to around 30 feet.
If the lake were dredged to 30 feet, many things would happen. The lake water would be cooler. There would be a lot more water available for all users. The mud taken from the lake could be sold as top-soil to offset the price of the dredging. Gee, a win-win situation for all parties. Someone please tell me why it can't be done.
