How Can we build the best water system that will withstand any drought? Salt Water Canals. We have been building canals for ever, both fresh water canals http://www-geology.ucdavis.edu/~GEL115/115CH17oldirrigation.html for farming and cities and salt water canals of transportation http://naid.sppsr.ucla.edu/venice/articles/construc.htm . http://www.canalcor.org/hisbuilding.html . There is a right way and a wrong way to do this; http://www.sfwmd.gov/org/bcb/3_bcbFAQ.htm http://www.texasep.org/html/wql/wql_5cst_wtlnd.html obviously you should not introduce salt water to fresh water canals and tributaries. http://www.sfwmd.gov/org/wrp/wrp_evg/2_wrp_evg_watershed/2_wrp_evg_watershed.html this is a very serious issue indeed. Fresh Water mixing with salt water is also a little bit of a problem, but generally it is the introduction of salt water to fresh water that just screws up everything http://www.clean-flo.com/process/ourprocess.htm . Unless you are a Salmon and have lived for 400,000 years, then you can live in either and you do not really give a shit. That is why we should not worry about Salmon any more, they can take care of themselves. Until I want my Sushi. http://www.thesushibar.com/ Tell you what go eat fish. Now the Indians, they want your fish so they can sell it back to you after they take all your money at the Casino and then will sue you over these types of water issues; http://www.jqjacobs.net/southwest/fort_mcdowell.html . Great !!! Just wonderful. There truly are some issues to consider, however this thing with the Indians is not one of them, They need water and we need water and many of us are half them or visa versa any who? Here is how we can do this plan by lining the canals so they do not overflow and then using that to desalinate; http://www.nrdc.org/water/conservation/cabay/fcabay.asp . This is what the Israelis do and last time I heard not only were they tough SOBs but smart too; http://www.israel.org/mfa/go.asp?MFAH01vv0 . Also in Jordan http://www.pewfellowships.org/stories/jordan/water.html . Sure it will cost a tad bit more, but it can sustain a larger and growing population correctly. We have some ideas on the table but clearly are not doing enough yet. http://www.calcoast.org/news/water061402.html . Let’s look at the plight of the coastal farmers and those living in the Central Valley in CA, in NC, SC, LA, MS, TX near the coast with Salt Water Intrusion. Collect all that water run off from the fields desalinate it and reuse it again as fresh. http://rubicon.water.ca.gov/v1cwp/ssurf.html . http://www.epwu.org/images/MACMinutes.pdf and Scientific American Issues in February 01 http://www.mindfully.org/Water/Every-Drop-Count.htm . http://www.mindfully.org/Water/Every-Drop-Count.htm . Just some Labor Day thoughts on this water dilemma. Have a great weekend, Why don’t you?
