Thanks for the update, and big differences versus the nightmare of two years ago.

Where there is a will, there is a backhoe. Can you say headgate bypass surgery?

Sounds like good news, Jeff. You can hang a painting of that headgate over your fireplace. Great work!
Here's another related thread posted a few weeks ago:
CLICK!
To: B4Ranch
LOL! I was over there last April after the gates were opened with the big Hoopla and saw all the new security.
One of the farmers who met me there indicated then that the new fences, cameras, post for the operators, etc would be easy to take down if it ever came to that ... something about one good John Deere.
It was clear that they had been built to keep the farmers out and I mentioned to them at the time that those "works" did not look like the actions of a government that had "given in" and seen it their way ... more like that of a government that was reluctantly doing things now, but preparing for later.
To everyone's joy, relief and to their credit to date, the water has been running as it is supposed to ever since. I pray it stays that way.
Best Fregards.

Amen to that Gramps (from one Grams to another) and hopefully it will stay that way ... despite all the environmental rumblings this year.

Exactly ... large siphon or bypass is always an option if it came to that ... just as it was in 2001.

"The tribes and people downstream have been shaken to their cores seeing their cultural icons being destroyed before their eyes," said Tim McKay of the Northcoast Environmental Center, a party to the suit. Here, let me translate that into the common tongue ...
"The evironazis and leftist bureaucrats have been shaken to their cores seeing their ideological and milk wagon icons destroyed before their very eyes," said Tim McKay of the Northcoast Environmental Center, a party to the suit.
... and may it continue so that the water might flow to the farmers, for whom it was intended since the project was created, and who have the rights to it.
It always makes me sick to my stomach to read this garbage when they know, and so does everyone else that the irrigation flow out of that lake is only a miniscule portion of the overall flow, as it was designed to be from the get go.
This remains a concerted effort by those NGO's, environazis and UN adherants to move those good people off the land, abetted by some in the tribes and others downstream who have been taken in by their tomfoolery. Just as the useful idiot anti-war protestors have been taken in by the designs of the marxist crowd of anti-Americans driving that agenda.
Fregards.

FYI, for those interested and who remember the dramatic events of 2001.Thanks for the report, Jeff. That was an unforgettable summer.

Good News Ping!
To: Carolina
You are welcome ... and it certainly was inforgettble.
I pray the water will flow to these good people all season.
To: Carolina

inforgettable = unforgettable
To: 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub
You are welcome brother, it is great news and I just pray it holds.
In the mean time ... thank YOU for all of your hard work. I may not get to those threads too often (they are generally too graphic intensive for my 56K dial-up) but I notice and appreciate them as I know thousands do.
God bless ... and God bless and keep our troops, and grant them swift and decisive victory over this tyrant.
All the way to Baghdad ... let's roll!
To: Jeff Head
bumping for later.

Thanks for the ping Tonk. Indeed great news.
I wonder if some of those great farmer, Vets we met were able to hang in there long enough to benefit from the success.
Very well done to those who took up the call. Jeff, Sean, blackie, AuntB, and so many, many more.

With the push of a button on a computer keyboard, the headgates opened on the day the Bureau set as a deadline for completion of the new headgates...
This is the kind of news I'd like to wake up to every day. Congratulations to everyone who fought so hard to get the water flowing for the farmers.
