I have a 30-gal pull behind that’s old and has been rebuilt and customized with a diy 10-ft boom. You are really going to need at least a 4gpm pump to achieve the pressure your nozzles need. I’d recommend having that criterion as a must-have. I also found that the boom was often mounted too low to achieve the right pattern/distribution.

Which is less than the water that was previously used for irrigation on the same farm land.

Great point! The cynic in me wants to say “two wrongs don’t make a right,” but I’ll keep it to myself. :)
This is helpful information. I predict that XOM BR will be pushed out of the groundwater business in my lifetime, as a neighbor in the general BR area. I’m concerned at the thought a modern data center could use a similar amount of water.
I genuinely want to learn more. The only “no big deal” comments I’ve seen are referencing closed loop systems. That’s not all that meaningful as it pertains to water consumption.

Are they rejecting heat to air, using fans? I’d heard that was less popular due to noise.
I think even some of them don’t understand all that is meant (and not meant) by “closed loop.”
We can agree on the principle. It’s harder to get people to agree on how much MORE one is willing to pay for products manufactured with this more environmentally responsible kit.

And I agree with you on all this; I’m just reminding that, at the end of the day, it comes back to the pocketbooks of either the consumer or the taxpayer. And many of us are both.
This doesn’t mean that their water use is nil. What is actually being used to reject the heat to? Air?
Can you give some more info? I would genuinely like to be more educated on this topic.

You call it “pear,” I call it “new fat.”

No. Every year at green up there are different locations that stay dead until mid-late summer.
It has never really looked like that. These are spots that just never green up after winter.

I have these spots in different locations every spring.

I PM’d you some good spots.
I’ll add another angle. Land owned by an absentee, especially by a group of absentees, is usually not well cared for and does not appreciate (my assertion) as well as land that is used and enjoyed often by a single user.
Available in true short action length?
Do you expect significant appreciation due to development? Do you derive any personal enjoyment or satisfaction from owning the land? Would your successors? If not, other asset classes, on average, have historically proven to be better performers from an appreciation standpoint.

Sounds like engineer just doesn’t think your time is worth much.

Thanks. Yes, I deal with the partial pressure limitation in my line of work. That limits the distance of the p/l and/or rate that can be transported. Hence my questions…

If they’re able to collocate with an acetylene purification facility, maybe that’s the resolution.
