The "official
line" was that it was this Spring's runoff that has caused Winnipesaukee's present
silt and bacteria problems.
However, we just had torrential rains that raised the lake about four inches above Tuesday's level—but the clarity is still as good as before the rains—and no silt!
The blame for the extremely heavy silt load lies directly at the feet of officials who failed earlier to place a comprehensive NWZ on the lake: Unfortunately, there are too few of us who can witness daily this "downsizing" of Winnipesaukee lakewater quality.
Leave the problem to another generation? Haven't we already left a full menu of problems?
