Let the Mississippi River wash Cairo into the Gulf of America. It would make the world a better place. I was born there so I can say that.
Should have in 2011. But instead the federal government decided to destroy 130,000 acres and displace 200 residents from the floodway. Because Cairo was worth more. To the administration in office at the time.

Maybe using Musk's boring technology. Missing part of the puzzle is where they are storing all the stolen water. Maybe in all the depleted Permian Basin wells.
I have been seeing some FB videos about some old oil wells that turned into salt/sulfur water lakes in Western Texas.
Premise of the videos is that the Railroad Commission doesn't know what to do with the lakes as they are too salty and contain too much sulfur for traditional plants and animals to make use of the areas and let mother nature heal. The big rub is that the oil companies knew they were salty water wells and just signed over the wells to landowners making them responsible since their oil well was now just a water well. Long term, that well would then turn sour and start expelling salt water making the water unusable.

In 2013, China's government had reported that they lost over 28,000 rivers in the previous decade.
My theory is they sold it into the sordid world of underground river sex trafficking.

rash of mysterious watershed /lake water vanishings across the country that have never satisfactorily explained.
Recall the dramatically reduced levels of Lake Mead / Powell out west as well?
What was it really about? Who or what siphoned all that water? To where?
bruh

The desert southwest and four corners region is in a historic drought. That expalins those two.

I own land in the Birds Point - New Madrid Floodway. While I was not happy with its activation I certainly understood it. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did everything possible to avoid using it and the people who cried about that disgust me. The activation of the BPNM Floodway is dictated by law and the USACOE waited to use it until after the federal mandate.
Anyone who owned land in the floodway prior to the Flood Control Act of 1928 was compensated - except those whose land naturally flooded. Anyone who bought land in the floodway after that knew what he was getting into. No one held guns to our heads and forced us to invest there.

They used something called a floodway to release floodwaters?
Make it make sense.

A floodway, like the Birds Point - New Madrid and Atchafalaya Floodways, relieves pressure by taking water from a source and later returning it. A spillway, like the Bonnet Carre and Morganza Spillways, divert water from one source to another. People often mistakenly use the terms interchangeably because they do not know better.

100% true? Well, maybe but maybe not... but that it can still be interesting either way. If not, somebody sure put in a lot of research and time for a Youtube prank video.
I am trying to keep as open a mind as possible while maintaining a skeptical viewpoint that MOST of what you see on the internet is either very biased or flat out fake.

The premise is that the river is leaking water into underground resevoirs and refilling them instead of flowing down the river.
It’s this. The water table for irrigation wells in the Ms delta is only 80-120 ft down and it comes from the ms river
There was a bad drought around a decade ago and the aquifer got pretty low where wells were surging or not pumping at all. There was a big fuss about it and they wanted farmers to put meters on the wells and report usage and there was talk about regulating usage and charging farmers for usage.
Then the ms river flooded big the next year and the aquifers were fine and haven’t heard shite about it. I don’t even report the meter total anymore

It takes a lot of water to flood all that corn up north for duck hunting.
