re: How concerned are you about the water levels in Lake Mead?

Probably shouldn't have massive golf courses, huge grass yards, and palm trees in a desert.
I enjoyed the desert landscaping for yards in AZ, no maintenance and looks cool

This thing is now completely out of the water and you could walk up to it if not for sinking in the mud.

Explain to me why it's impossible? So oil is easier to pump or push than water? Serious question, Clark.
I’m a mechanical engineer and have done hydraulic studies on this idea for clients. No one is biting on the idea even with federal funding. It’s not only cost prohibitive it’s energy restrictive. For example let’s say you need a 120,000 horse power booster station in the middle of BFE New Mexico, where are you going to get that kind of power in remote location like this?
And comparing pumping oil to water is off by a large factor. In terms of volume we use significantly more water than oil.

Okay, but that was a lot of work for sarcasm.

Water is corrosive too I think.
Ethanol added gasoline isn't piped due to corrosion issues.
I'd imagine water would be similar.
Not only volumes and economics, but corrosion issues as well.

I guess they’re gonna start having to use Brawndo on the crops out there

Yeah the rich fricks in California that live way outside what they should. Caused by a culture that is socialist in name only, while having the most millionaires by a landslide... all the while importing millions of Mexicans across the region.
The worst part is that all this will do is hurt the poor in California, throwing them into our area, meanwhile the rich will keep going to UC Berkeley protests against Trump or whatever

Meh, not really. Anodes are put on some steel water pipelines but corrosion is not mitigated at the same level as O&G pipelines. It is critical that O&G pipeline do not leak so cathodic protection systems are required. Not so much for water pipelines. If you get a leak in a water line generally it’s no big deal. You just fix it. It’s a massive deal if an oil pipeline leaks.

IDK
I do find it interesting that there's been enough research into this to chart it, however, it only seems to have become discussed more in the news/ online beginning around 2018

And comparing pumping oil to water is off by a large factor. In terms of volume we use significantly more water than oil.
Per my basic calculations, the state of California uses roughly 5 BILLION gallons of water daily.
And that’s a real rough estimate based off the idea that each CA resident uses 125 gallons daily on average.
That volume is obscene and not even remotely possible.

Been waiting for the world to end. Anything speed up the process Im thrilled about.
Bonus points of I get to see the faces when it hits them.

The east bank of NOLA is supplied by the Carrollton water treatment plant. It treats 110 million gallons of water per day. The city only measures half of that…lol, but that is a different issue.

Isn’t that area of the west entering the monsoon season?

I’m glad I read your whole post. I thought you were a nutcase at first.
