Lake Meredith officials work closely with the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority, which monitors the water content on a monthly basis. Another issue is the social ramifications. Ban proponents contend Jet Skis are noisy, annoying and disrupt the activities of other individuals, and their claims are accurate to a degree. Again, this depends on the recreation area in question.

People are being more responsible, and that helps solve that conflict. There is also the danger aspect of personal watercraft, which for the most part are faster and have more maneuverability than a motorboat.

However, to adopt a law that does not consider the unique aspects and characteristics of individual recreation areas defeats the purpose of such a federal designation in the first place.
