...and just how much of the Lake are we going to dump in the Bay? Isn't it already at historic lows? I guess when the Poles melt and sea levels rise we can desalinate and drink that?

I think all of you guys need to quit letting all the famers have all the water out of the lake.
It's not a lake anymore its a puddle.
Quit worring about the Everglades and worry about the real problem getting the water back in Lake Okeechobee.
Thank you,
