Where is the Millstream??

The Millstream on a grassy area between the UC and the millstream.

The Millstream is ridiculously low today! I do not understand man must run the millstream. There is no other explanation for this odd phenomenon how else could the millstream drop at least a foot in less than a day. I now want to know if the school is the people in control of this.  If not I want to know who is in control of the stream height and what their rhyme and reason for changing the height is. Now that it is this low the stream just look plain ridiculous. It is less than a foot deep and the large rocks just stick out awkwardly. Even some of the smaller rocks are visible. This shallow of a mill run even looks like is makes the ducks bothered. Today they looked really sad perched on top of the now colossal rocks.  They now have now water that they can really paddle about. It is also my friend’s birthday and we could not push her in since it was so shallow, I am sure she feels jiped. I wonder what ramifications this shallow of water has on the larger fish that travel through the stream. Whether they are not able to pass through or die due to shallow water conditions of being more vulnerable to predators in this water level.
