Inflatable Dams

[Vision 2025]

I see a fund raising opportunity...

Yes, the plan for many years has been a series of small lakes.  

As for water releases from Keystone there are many needs to release water and the project is intended to function with those releases that regularly happen, even in the past two years of low flows.  That said but if the entire river system dries up and they dry up the navigation channel and make no water quality releases for wastewater treatment plant flows or to generate electricity at the dam or from any of the downstream power plants that pick up river water for cooling then the proposed lakes will be just as dry as everything else.  

I guess that is part of what I am getting at - making a series of small Keystone Lakes would not seem to be that great a goal... guess it would have to do since we don't have a better source of water than that, but....


I haven't looked at Keystone release data for a while, but the level seems to be holding up now, so maybe that will work.  Since we are in the 5th year of drought... kinda surprising it isn't lower like some others.

I've got first dibs.  Need to raise some money to buy some property just east of Highway 75 around 61st St.
