Dredging the Reservoir

Lets face it, sometimes, the reservoir stinks! It would be nice to have in dredged and turned into a lake. I could see a nice beach to go along with rotary campground, and more canoeing and kayaking. Surely the city could find it in the budget to make these improvements, after all dredging isn't that difficult right? There are a few problems I do have, one is how we would keep it clean enough to swim in. The creek runs into the reservoir from bear lake, which isn't a lake Id swim in either, and also collects water from farm run off. Another issue would be where will the wildlife go? There are many different birds and animals that use the reservoir, it is an important part of our eco-system. I would like to see more recreational use of this area, its still fine to canoe on and there is already a canoe rental place. The smell is definitely a deterrent, but I don't think ultimately dredging it is the answer. We have a lake close by that, with a little more attention, would be a fine place to spend the day (that being Saskatoon Park)! I think the moeny could be better spent elsewhere.
