Your 39 dams, I have a recreational property which feeds into the Trent-Severn Waterway, which is not precisely close to yours, and I've been rather surprised to learn how crude the management is of those dams. It's log in, log out. The data by which MNR in particular makes decisions, and maybe it's you who makes the decisions, is generated from volunteers—George going up to the local lake and saying, “Yes, it looks a little high, Fred”.
Are we much better than that?
