Carp are the toughest fish around. If they can't survive being in that water, I can't imagine what could.

During that drought we had a few summers back, I saw a pond with carp floundering around in a few inches of water with their backs out of the water. I assumed they were all going to die, but they manged to stay that way for the rest of the summer and most of them survived the drought!

I guess the best thing about carp is they can survive in just about anything and privde fishing opportunites in bodies of water that normally wouldn't hold big fish.
