Great idea. then the whole country could share an enjoy zebra mussels,
spiny water fleas, ruffe gobies, leaping carp, rock snot, VHS disease,
whirling disease, and god knows what else.

That is quite a leap Pete. These are challenges, nothing more.

One assumes you have never encountered thousands of tons of challenge
rotting on a Lake Michigan beach under the hot August sun.

Yes, in fact, I have. On the other hand I hear the water in the
Muskegon river is crystalline. But, we digress, this discussion is
simply about plumbing. It amazes me that folkes would argue against a
better water management system when we have so many problems with the
one(s) we have.

Your pal,

Water flows uphill, towards money.

The evidence suggests that to your dying day you will never understand that
(let alone why) your amazement does nothing to illuminate the issues that
engender it, but speaks volumes about your own personal issues.

Case in point......you don't have any idea at all what of you've just said
here.

I guess I don't understand your meaning. Since when is man not a part
of nature and who said anything about ****ing with nature (at least
any more than we have to date)? If we are to exist as a species, in
any capacity, we will, invariably, completely and incessantly '****'
with nature. I guess the best we can hope to do is to do those things
that create a positive influence on our ability to manage the other
things properly. When you're in a mess of sewage and drought, well,
let's just say 'trout die' as a metaphor. In our panic to control
local and regional issues we do **** nature while simultaneously not
solving anything. Salmon get confused by the concrete and die without
spawning, again as a metaphor. So, it's flooding down in Texas (RIP
Stevie Ray) or in Louisiana and the water runs in to massive
underground tanks in the grid to reappear in North Carolina where the
cricks holding the beloved national treasure brookies would otherwise
dry up. Espousing an attitude of 'living in a cave' just won't git 'er
done.

As I understand it, one of, if not THE, reason(s) Atlanta is having
water "problems" is because there are too many people for the water
there (or that would be there if man hadn't attempted to "solve" a water
"problem") and man attempted to "fix" the situation to his liking. Man
also attempted to "fix" the "problems" perceived with the Mississippi
River and look what it has done to south Louisiana. And much of the
flooding in Texas is a result of man "solving" water problems. I'd
offer it would be much easier (and better) to redistribute man than the
water, or, if people simply insist on living in areas in which the
conditions are not to their liking, they are left to endure the
situation. If one doesn't want their home wiped out by a hurricane,
don't build that home on a beach in a hurricane zone. If one doesn't
want their home burned up in a wildfire, don't build it in a wildfire
zone. And if one doesn't like dry conditions, don't live in a dry area.
I strongly suspect the same sumbitches that makes some folks read posts
they absolutely don't wish to read and then bitch about the content
makes some folks live in areas they find not to their liking and then
bitch about the conditions...

Happy Holidays,
