Prairie River at
Merrill,
Wisconsin
..shoreline frontage along small impoundments confers no increase in residential
property value compared to frontage along free-flowing streams . Non-frontage
residential property located in the vicinity of a free-flowing stream is more valuable
than similar non-frontage property in the vicinity of a small impoundment.Provencher, Sarakinos, Meyer Contemporary Economic Policy Journal (April 2008)

The healthy rivers argumentClean, free-flowing rivers will repel invasive species..they cannot thrive in
healthy rivers.
But is really dams that will keep Asian
carp out of Wisconsin rivers?They catch minnows all the time at Prairie du Sac dam
And what if the guy throws the bighead carp back in the
river above the dam or into another river?
MAYBE dams could befirst line of defense..but
very few dams are in that
position.
