Again, I am not for taking water out from this location but you are making it sound like the end of the world and this one particular withdraw has caused the creek to go completely dry and ruin any/all spawning habitat.

Yes, we should absolutely ignore any and all industrial activities that could potentially harm a fishery. Especially on as small as Prairie.
I also fully put my trust in the government and Big Corporate to care for the fragile ecosystems. God bless them all.
