You posted on the PB, dumb frick

Because the wells for industry are used for brine and storage. They get their potable water from the river. That's why the water at Exxon tastes like shiite.

---

so you actually think industry uses more potable than i-water?



so you're not just a liar, you're stupid too.

Water from water wells are A LOT cheaper than building water treatment plants to treat surface water from the Mississippi River.

This is the core issue.

I've seen some people at plants close to the river that bitch about their discharge into the MS saying that they have to put it back in cleaner than it was when they took it out. There are some other issues concerning river levels and river navigation, but treatment cost is the biggest issue.

Wells for Brine and storage are not tapping into the same aquifers as the BR Water Co's wells.

:sigh:

should i show you another one of the graphs from water resources at LSU?

seriously. stop repeating what you heard from your coworker.

here ya go d-bag.




Not the same...right?

I mean we can go well by well too. I actually have all that data. some industrial on the same sand layer as some drinking. Come on, tell me what else your coworker said...

I'm sure this is exactly where he heard it from. Probably from someone who ends his sentences with a spit from the big wad under his lip.

I'm absolutely ready to protect the acquifer.

Not on the basis of a likely biased article though.

- any evidence to support the assertion that it's the companies draining the acquifer?

- do we have a scientific report on the salinization increases in drinking water? How far reaching is this problem?

- what is the draw rate for the city itself? What is the draw rate from local agriculture? Agriculture tends to use 1000% more water than anything else.

With actual facts, we can create solutions. I'm absolutely not sure that draining water from the Mississippi is a solution. How would that effect discharge rates of water or mud? How would it effect local fisheries?

That aquifer is not going to be depleted.

Stop with chicken little shite.
