Open Question: Where to put the millions of gallons of water the great pump project was meant for and funds allocated for? |
Every year in the spring the Ole Mississippi river floods, levees break, some people die, millions of dollars in damages and losses occur.
This is a very dramatic and tragic event for some.
The Federal government allocated money for Great pumps to be installed near Yazoo Mississippi to remove water from the river and take pressure off the levees.
The problem is, the county Yazoo is in has no where to go with the water, no one in their county wants it, and no one in neighboring counties want it.
Is it to far out of the realm of possibilities to build a pipe line to huge reservoirs dug in desert states like Arizona, Texas or Nevada?
Yes, underground pipe lines, just like the huge oil companies do, yes we would have to condemn most of the right of way to do it, but they can farm over it.
Once in the reservoir of the arid state it could be used in very well thought out processes,
like hydroponics and other crops that utilize the water well; only well thought efficient uses to be allowed.
This would generate thousands of jobs in the agricultural communities and save a lot of drama and heartache in the flood areas.
I still remember the Mayor of a small town in Tennessee when the Tennessee river recently deluged his city, he said "there is just no place to go with all the water!".
Not that long ago Obama said, there are 85 million less jobs in the US of A now, and 85 million people are just going to have to reinvent themselves.
This is not a handout, and the new jobs will make us stronger.
The thousands of workers who will have jobs because of this will not be unemployed and will be paying taxes.
The job it saves may even be yours or a loved ones!
Good luck to you, International
Oilfield, you are correct to many special interest groups to muddle it up.
In China things are done differently, some special interest group starts making noise, surprisingly they are not heard from again and the Government says "this is how were going to do it"!
Then it gets done.
This and the low crime rate I really admire.
Although I know about the drawbacks too.
As I am behind the Great Wall at the moment, I will not go into those details, I will not irritate my host country!

Open Question: This is a project worthy of the "Great One's attention, but how do we let him know, who can tell him? |
Only a man who could get a "Health care bill" that many people opposed passed could get this passed also.
I do not see how anyone could argue against this, but surely someone will!
Where to put the millions of gallons of water the great pump project was meant for and funds allocated for?
Every year in the spring the Ole Mississippi river floods, levees break, some people die, Billions of dollars in damages and losses occur.
This is a very dramatic and tragic event for some.
The Federal government allocated money for Great pumps to be installed near Yazoo Mississippi to remove water from the river and take pressure off the levees.
The problem is, the county Yazoo is in has no where to go with the water, no one in their county wants it, and no one in neighboring counties want it.
Is it to far out of the realm of possibilities to build a pipe line to huge reservoirs dug in desert states like Arizona, Texas or Nevada?
Or how about the bread basket states like Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, these states are having water table problems due to heavy irrigation.
With a project like this, these heavy water users could draw upon this water for irrigation, and leave the ground water for drinking.
Yes, underground pipe lines, just like the huge oil companies do, yes we would have to condemn most of the right of way to do it, but they can farm over it.
Once in the reservoir of the arid state/bread basket state it could be used in very well thought out processes,
like hydroponics and other crops that utilize the water well; only well thought efficient uses to be allowed.
The reservoir could have two main levels, the second level is a level we do not draw away from more,
because this level has gentle slopes and is a second fishing ground.
Boating and recreational aspects could/should also be enjoyed with this resource!
This would generate thousands of jobs in the agricultural communities and save a lot of drama and heartache in the flood areas.
I still remember the Mayor of a small town in Tennessee when the Tennessee river recently deluged his city, he said "there is just no place to go with all the water!".
The Tennessee river, Ohio river, Missouri rivers, the Waspininski (Wapsi river, in Iowa) and probably a few others I am unaware of all have dire flooding events every year and could benefit from a pump project.
Not that long ago Obama said, there are 85 million less jobs in the US of A now, and 85 million people are just going to have to reinvent themselves.
This is not a handout, and the new jobs will make us stronger.
The thousands of workers who will have jobs because of this will not be unemployed and will be paying taxes.
The job it saves may even be yours or a loved ones!
Environmental impact statements needed?
OK, here is an environmental impact statement.
To save the levees, and billions and damages, we pumped water out of the river.
We put a big screen over the inlet to sift out the gators.
NO GATORS WERE HARMED!
Actually before the great pump project was allocated money, an environmental impact statement was probably done.
