This video was hillarious until I realized that it was filmed in USA. It gives you some idea of the problem facing water management.

I was originally going to post it as an amusing thread, but soon realised that there is nothing funny about it. This is a very serious threat to the ecology of American waterways. If it makes it to the great lakes, the battle is lost for sure.

Asian carp are one of the most evasive speces of fish in N. America to date. There was a show on Discovery ch. a few months ago about them and I was amazed and alarmed The fish have made there way up the Mississippi and the Missouri river basins and some DNA from them have been found in lake Michigan if they reproduce there well that would be a echo nightmare.
