Spring Bayou Restoration.......

Any of you been keeping up with the recent and past issues with the water levels due to pumping from Spring Bayou? I'm an active member of the SBR team. Local wealthy people have been pumping water out of little river to fill rice ponds for the past several years. It has been negatively affecting lots of people including me. This time of the year with lack of rain and the continuous pumping, has caused super low water levels. We have been trying to change things, but it's hard in Avoyelles Parish to change anything. This goes back to 1951 enabling pumping from Little River. SBR has done great things for Spring Bayou and we want to keep it that way. The police jury finally can through and hopefully changes are upon us. I was born and raised fishing, frogging and hunting in Spring Bayou and also have a camp in Ole' River. If any of you live, hunt, fish or visit Spring Bayou, please consider becoming a member of the restoration team.

Yes. Seems to me the evaporation is a much bigger problem than the pumping. There are bayous near me that are dry that usually have water until September or so.

My wife's dad lived in Mansura until his death 7 years ago. His property was located very close to Spring Bayou.
If you drove up La.1 heading to Marksville you'd take a rt. on Cocoville Rd. then a right on Old River Rd. and follow that down to Lestan Normand Rd. where the old man's property sits. That road was named for his dad who died in the early 90's at 101 years of age.
The family still has the property that is comprised of 2 tracts, one 6.75 acres and the other being 10 acres. It's just sitting idle for years now, but no plans to sell it off are in the works.
