Trenching wars have started!!

If your not draining it into an ocean or sea your causing someone else grief. Lake levels rise in years of heavy run-off and cause others to loose ground or flood lake front properties, any extra water is a problem. Last time I checked there is no ocean front property in the Praries.

"And cause others to loose ground"

Really! How the hell do you "loose" ground?

Are you on the same council as grrr?

Once again I apologize for a spelling error. If people picked apart posts of "everyone" who spelled a word wrong the threads would be twice as long. I try to make sense of many posts where there is no punctuation and bad grammar, all I do is read it over until it makes sense or just skip it.

No worries farmaholic, people using loose when they mean lose has to be one of the most common grammatical mistakes made. A spell checker won't catch it either.

A little warm wind in most places on the prairies would do a world of good. (a phrase I never thought I'd never ever say during the '80s droughts!)

We need California's Santa Anna 40C winds for a few weeks to make land fit to work in this area.
The HEAT is what is missing since Nov 2010.

Look at the map BTO and Checking. There are millions of acres in western Canada that are in closed drainage basins. WATER DOES NOT LEAVE THE BASIN!!!!!! Upstream ditching causes downstream damage. You guys are obviously on the top end of your various drainage areas!

Oh, don't get me wrong. There is loose ground.

You just have to travel to the Artic islands to see how warmer temperatures are causing the permafrost to thaw which exposes the now shoreline soil to open ocean wave action. A common number throw out is 8.5 meters of coastal erosion per year.

Compare that to the small lake expansions going on in the prairies, and we have only a little problem.

I just wish that councils would stop using their road and culvert system as dams that trinkle water off upstream lands, then perhaps at least some farmers wouldn't have delayed seeding.

What the hell is "trinkle".

[grrrr]

Checking;
I can't stop laughing. Where exactly are the "Artic Islands"?

My apologies. I'll try to do better. Just haven't seen yours.
