There Is Enough Water in The United States To Cover Every Drought Area In The U.S.

A: The Replumbing of America Written by Morris Maurice Antonie Dyer (MMAD) Date: 06/20/2011 Author of Insight, My Experience During the Iraq Urban Conflict (ISBN: 978-1-43496465-6) . Ask any U.S American what occurred on 4 July 1776 and they will be all bright eyed, as they proclaim their versions of Independence Day. How rightfully so, any version is accepted gracefully, as long as the tyrant evil long out-stretched tax hands of the king and queen of England is deposed from their pockets. After an actualization of independence, the struggle for good became the heartbeat of the new nation, and the superiority sort after did not entailed a man made noble who berates and robs the deprived of their pride and will to succeed. Our greatness is not a spike in how many citizens become wealthy in a decade or so, but an occurrence of established public good. Our nations irrigation system should be considered an improvement in our national security endeavor. If half of the country is always devastated by floods and drought, then our prosperity is at risk, and so goes our worldwide influence. Thus President Eisenhower foresaw the greatness of the country with a well developed transportation system, not only in ease of military equipment maneuvering, but also as a corner stone to a thriving public good in the commercial sector, due impart to a highway expansion program. The hypocrites of his day could see no farther than their nose, and disappointed him as they first rejected his highway development agenda. What would our status in national output be today if we did not have a federal highway system? A proposal of such a public good would be rejected by The Republicans if there were too many small contractors benefiting from such government expenditures, and the Democrats would rebuffed it due to the fact that the well-heeled among us would get the better part of the deal. This is how the parties in our present political system explains that projects cost too much. The most important object of such arguments should be that the cost factor does not matter when it is time to invest in what makes us great. Nincompoops along both lines of conviction will hole fast to their political ill wills; inapt to the national utility in question. Consequently, absolute emphasis should otherwise be place on fraudulent manipulation of the financial mechanism which supports such public good. Moving the Mighty Mississippi Just as a federal highway system made us a great profitable economic force, and a nation of one people familiar with our country; it is inconceivable that there would be arguments among us that moving a yearly overflow of water from the mighty Mississippi and its tributaries would be disadvantageous to drought stricken States such as Arizona and Texas. The blessings would go even further given that those States that braces for the yearly floods or whenever the torrent thus comes, the waters would be diverted to driedup tributaries such as: rivers, lakes and streams in areas where the rain fall is well below the minimum due to growing shifts in millennial weather patterns and other concerns. So the motivation here is quite simple. If Libya in Africa can make a man-maderiver with 13 feet wide pipes beneath its desert from subsurface aquifers in the Sahara to Benghazi and Tripoli, then we can move all excess water from the Mississippi and the

Missouri rivers along with their over-flowing tributaries to Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and the likes where the rain fail to fall in adequate proportion for farmers to be productive. The benefit to such an actualization would be no more flooding of residents home along the mighty Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers, thus billions of dollars saved in benefits to tax payers and other concerns. The project is a job multiplier. How to do it There will be much opposition to this plan, since in present day America; it is the business of some charlatans amongst us to oppose even the endowed duty and goodwill of the federal government. So, here is my proposal to avoid hypocrites. The Federal government would build a 20 feet wide waterway underground, adjacent to the federal highway system, US highways, along side railroad tracks and places where feasible such as lands next to electric power-lines crisscrossing states. This put the threat of eminent domain (The authority of governments to take private property) and the environmental worshipers challenges to rest before these doomsday exaggerators spread their ill-wills to the masses. There is nothing else on earth that is more environmentally unfriendly than a highway, and placing an invisible river next to it could increase no more harm to the environment than there already is. The states would then, figure out how to get the water to the necessary rivers, lakes and tributaries. If the states have their heads up their dont know how to get it done, then the water is sent on its way to other states that have conjured-up the will power and know how to get the water to their drought farms. There will be no time spent on those inhibiters who just want to make a name for them selves. No eminent domain issues need be considered, just get the 20 feet wide pipe in the hole on federal lands, cover it up and move on. Some tributaries, lakes, rivers and over used aquifers may be recharged directly from the irrigation source without pipes entering such water reserves. When such places are up to par, the spigot at the source shall be turned off. There is no Cost factor A project such as this proposed does not cost, but save in human lives and amplifies national productivity. Therefore, it is not how much does it cost, but what are the savings? To get the dollars out of the argument, lets assume cost savings of $50 billion. We have spent more than that over time (since the nation was conceived) on repairing riverside disasters. Each year many enclaves, towns and cities get flooded, while other agriculture lands grow arid. The United States is more than 200 years old, and this sort of development should have been our long term plan for water productivity from the conception of the nation. I firmly believe that there is an adequate amount of water flowing in the United States each year to make our lands look like spring all year round. We should expect the present flux in weather pattern for the foreseeable future, as long as we keep fossil fuel as our main source of utilized energy. Listed below are good examples of savings provided by this proposed Nation Flood Water Irrigation Project.

FLOOD WATER IRRIGATION PROJECT SAVINGS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Save human lives and avert increases in flood insurance Save jobs and creates employments Necessary infrastructure improvement No more flooded homes along the Mississippi Ease river dwellers stress from such disasters Prevent disease out brake due to such catastrophes Prevent farm lands top soil erosion from acts of men. Reduce contamination of local public water supply by such river overflows. Stop or reduce human and economic type avoidable water disasters in the regions along the river. 10. We will not have to blow-up the levies to save cities down range by creating a disaster for others as we flood them out of their only means of existing subsistence. 11. The accumulation of good outcome from a national endeavor such as this proposed project will certainly overwhelm the negatives. Conclusion A do nothing approach is a warrant for future tragedy in the regions where the mighty Mississippi and its tributaries devastates communities. If we as a nation believe that the United States of America is to survive longer than all other nations on earth, then a lack of will to improve infrastructure is a definite formula that will assure our appointment with catastrophic failure. There is a good example of what an irrigation system can do for our nations health. To study the outcome of a partial nation rural irrigation success, we should look no further than California and its agricultural successful lifeline hinged to an artery of water call the Colorado River Aqueduct. Without this successful effort, vegetables may not be available nationwide all year-round on our tables. It is becoming increasingly evident that a national management of fresh water is necessary due to while swings in global weather pattern. As such uncertainty abounds, the yearly supply of water received must not be allowed to return to the sea unexploited. Advances in satellite technologies can do the mapping of national rivers and tributaries that are able to accommodate the yearly excess waters from the mighty Mississippi and its tributaries. This method of water redistribution can best serve the nations interest for the greater public good. Thus, farmers will not have to sell their cattles due to lack of water in areas of the country where less than adequate precipitation is a prevailing symptom. If there is no rain no grass will grow. Farms then have to truck in water, and hay to feed their herds of cows. It becomes evermore expensive as fuel prices increase to maintain hundreds or thousands of animals. Lastly, consider the humane utility: no more devastated communities etcetera, etcetera and etcetera. Lets not gamble with our waters as speculators and banks have done lately with multiple economies. A national irrigation system is a must, and the time to start our success to a better future is not later but now. Author: Morris M.A. Dyer: June, 2011: Copy rights reserved.
