To give you an example of the cost of a water pipeline, here is some current information on a plan to pipe water from the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River, which forms Lake Powell, to a populated area in southern UT. From early planning until implementation it is projected to take 20 years. As you can guess, many people with their heads on right are fighting this plan.
Short Description: The project consists of approximately 130 miles of buried 66-inch pipe from Lake Powell to Sand Hollow Reservoir near St. George, plus 38 miles of 30-inch pipe from Quail Creek Reservoir to Cedar City.
The Utah Division of Water Resources' current cost estimate (June 2008) for the entire project is $1.064 billion. This includes construction, materials, engineering, land and right-of-way acquisition and agency fees.
It also includes pumping facilities drilled into the sandstone rock near Glen Canyon Dam with booster pumping stations along the pipeline alignment to provide the approximately 2,500 foot lift needed to carry the water over the high point (which will probably mean drilling through the Cockscomb) in the pipeline.
Hydroelectric generation facilities will be included to utilize the roughly 3,000 foot drop between the high point and the end of the pipeline. The hydro-power projects include Little Creek Development for 18 megawatts; the Hurricane Cliffs Pumped Storage Development that would include two reservoirs and produce 415 megawatts; and the Sand Hollow Development, which would produce 10 megawatts.

Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
