certainly country despite drought drove fair few high industry last snapshot snow taking tremendous weather
Taking a snapshot of the last few years doesn't really work. There are too many variables. The weather is a tremendous factor. There's been a lot of snow in the high country this year. It certainly wouldn't be fair to industry to say the wells drove them away. And drought - it wouldn't be fair for industry to say populations are going up because of, or despite wells.

suspect
We suspect it probably did but there's just no way to know.
dead district fish found looking managers mean river terms wildlife
In terms of wildlife, we had our district wildlife managers and aquatic researchers on the river looking for any kind of fish kill. About 5 p.m., or during first 12 hours, we have found no dead fish. That doesn't mean we won't.
encourage finding hiding people road slow solution
If people don't like to see road kill, we'd encourage them to slow down. The solution is not necessarily hiding the carcasses, it's finding different solutions.
