Thankyou for making people understand how important it is to deal with water properly.
Native Americans, (Indians) wrongly named by Columbus, never stood in the way of water. They believed that water should never be restricted.
Most of the problems come from big "Greedy companies", who hold back water to make power, or sell to whoever needs it.
Man make strate channels, nature weaves rivers so that it spreads water over far bigger areas.
Beavers, do a better job regarding water flow.
Water has intelligence, so when "Water Companies" dump suwage into it. I believe water finds this highly offensive.
Small Hydro Generators, instead of larg Greedy Utilities, who only think about money regardless of all the sever damage they do.
Then, they have the ordasity, to make us Pay for their incompetence!?
We need millions more of desiduis trees, planted with wide spacing between them. Micoligy will help these trees with their needs. Thank you again, have a wonderful day. 🤪🇬🇧🍄
