Comments on: Not quite going with the flow http://www.dustbury.com/archives/9313 I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less.

A little too well maybe, but people are big on prayer in this neck of the woods. Praying for rain seemed to work for Georgia.

Down here, we all get pretty uppity when someone suggests selling the water out of "our" aquifer (The Arbuckle-Simpson).

There's a smallish one beginning in eastern Oklahoma City (Garber-Wellington) that supplies a lot of drinking water to the smaller towns. Flow is still good - up to 600 gal/min at some drilling points - but trace minerals are on the high side, and decent rainfall in the last two years hasn't offset rising demand.

If the Ogallalah Aquifer keeps getting drained by irrigaters, there won't be any water in this area. It'll take more than finely tuned toilets to fix that problem - but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I was just being a smart a$$.

I figure, any time I can do something that (1) is sparing of a natural resource and (2) doesn't put ten grand in the hand of the man from Tennessee, it's worth doing. I’m not doing this for Saint Al.
