Getting much needed rain in PHX, a pretty warm front, wish it was colder for the snow pack. Lake Mead and Lake Powell are headed to being mud holes.

It sure would be nice if there was a way to route water.

If it is from the same front that is moving through here, it has not stopped all day. |

Just gotta say the lack of capital letters in the thread titles is killing my OCD-ness. I believe it's grammatically incorrect anyway, but UGHHH!!!
January 1, 2023: removing some toxicity out of my life and refusing to explain myself to anyone that I don't HAVE to. Que sera, sera.

If it is from the same front that is moving through here, it has not stopped all day. I believe so. First rain, then ice, then snow. As forecast. Radar shows it’s moving in. |

It sure would be nice if there was a way to route water. It would be a reasonable job if we had a functional government. The Mississippi has been dry recently, but I think that's over. We couldn't guarantee a certain amount all the time, but we could balance things out. |

We couldn't guarantee a certain amount all the time, but we could balance things out. Moving water is costly. Particularly if it is being lifted. Now, if the US Government spent a Trillion on such a program the howling from a segment of the population would make us all wish we had stayed with Herbert Hoover. |

We have pipelines moving oil all over the country. Why not water. All the California agriculture losses would cover the cost in 10 years. Probably cheaper than putting a man on Mars. Of course I hear that California is going to be flooded before long. |

The volumes to be transported, at least per what is needed and what makes sense, greatly surpases oil and its fractions. This aggravates number 1. 3. Water is not a commercial commodity. It belongs to us all and is transported and delivered mostly by government. |

There is equal opportunity here, real opportunity! Think of all the construction, engineering, materials geologic, soils, etc. contractors who would be hired! What, it would be a new GOLD mine! |
