| "I can remember my dad going to water meetings back in the 60's and some of the talk was about damming the Mississippi, laying pipe and pumping stations or irrigation canals similar to what they have in Ca. and bring the water to the areas in Tx, Ok and Ks and pump it back into the aquifers that have been depleted. It quite obviously would have to be an Army Corps of Engineers project, but, it could be done. " Now there's a solution for the folks being sued by the Des Moines waterworks- pipe their tile water to Texas, filter it through the crop so that excess nutrients could be put to use and the cleaned water could recharge the aquifer. Then Des Moines could draw the "clean" water downstream from their sewage pipes to drink and not have to worry about the farmers above them. | |
