So the farmers reduce the water table so the country isn’t muddy?
How is that bad for everyone else, for the country to not be all muddy?
I dunno. Where I’ve always lived, ground that’s too muddy to drive on is a rare event, not a continual state that can only be alleviated by lowering the water table. If I lived in a place where you couldn’t drive on the ground because it was too muddy, I’d be all for lowering the water table to get some firm ground.
But I’m much more of a green than a red in that sense.
