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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
