Nothing was said about pumping contaminated water directly into an aquifer. That said yes, flood waters are often contaminated, but you tell me, where do all of those contaminates currently go? Yep, you guessed it, gravity takes all of it right on down to the ocean, or right back into the ground. So, what would be the difference in sending some of that water, and filtering out the large debris which would have to be done to pump it anyway, from point A where the flood was, to point B where the water was actually needed. Even if nothing was done with the water but for it to be sprayed onto the ground, and let sink in and be filtered naturally in an area where it was needed, and then drawn out with wells, just like it would do anywhere else, it would be better than allowing it to all go to waste like it currently does.
You tell me, if you had a whole years worth of crops you were getting ready to lose, and maybe you didn't have the money to insure this years because last years crop was lost too, what would you give for just enough water to keep your operation in business? I don't think you'd really care where the water came from just as long as it got to your crops and kep you from another bad year and kept your family fed and off the streets.....
As far as predicting where the water will be, will be needed, what's the big deal there? Nowdays they can take years and years worth of weather data and feed it into a computer program and predict the weather with a fair degree of accuracy. That alone would cover the basics of what would be needed to tell you where to put the pumps and where to pump it. Anything beyond that, like I said before, I'm sure we have enough experts in this country, or maybe we need to get one from Japan, India, or China, that could figure out all of the details.
Like I said so may people with so many ides why it CAN't be done but so few that actually think it out to see how it can be done. I guess it's just easier to say we can't than to say how can we..........That's a really sad statment to be made about the people in a country that used to be a world power, a country that put the first man on the moon, the country that used to base our existance on manufacturing and being the people that said WE CAN DO IT.........

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
