To expensive. everytime you cover up a water supply you destroy wildlife habitat.

Open canals in Central Oregon makes it what is- trees and greenery. Without them, only what is being watered will be green. It's a government money grab. Major fire hazard in a couple years.

I say QUIT building golf courses.

I love seeing the water running thru town. I don't agree that we lose as much water as they say without the piping. And it is too costly and time consuming to get done.

No, way to much cost. Oh the same amount of water would evaporate flowing through the canals then if the water was allowed to stay in the river flow.

As a Home owner's expense to lose is w/a lateral canal,beauty,trees, pond,cost of cleanup,dried up Wells, Property value loss,no notice,vote or say about our water rights that we purchased & own! NO!

irrigation ponds are not properly maintained and leaking water. People running their sprinklers in the same area for days wasting water. Wildlife and vegetation depend on this water.

I lived on the canal. Wildlife depend on the water too. Deer drink from it. Birds drink from it & swim in it. It's a freeway for birds! Water evaporates and comes back down. Only replace rotten pipes.
