Water problems from Canton Lake

Residents in OKC and dependent cities still do not understand the gravity of the situation. Canton Lake is currently OVER 9 feet low. This drawdown is 7.5 feet. Canton Lake's normal pool is 1615. ft. At the end of this draw, Canton Lake will only be a couple of feet above the inactive pool. You will not be able to draw from Canton again until it fills to a drawable level. It doesn't matter what storage space you control if there is NO WATER in your space. Even if it fills a couple of feet, you can call for the water, but none will arrive in OKC. It will be "used up" in the riverbed. Canton Lake will not have the water, nor will OKC.

This draw will kill ALL the fish in Canton Lake. They can not add fish until the water reaches a sustainable level. It will take 5 years once the level is sustainable to rebuild the fish population.

All the fancy PR people, city board, Mayor Mic and the rest cannot get water where there is NONE. OKC must look at other sources, Canton cannot sustain your luxury use of water in this drought. Mayor Mic went after the fatties, demanding OKC loose weight….how about a similar project for water waste and conservation?
