  1. I've been piecing this 308 build together over the last year. I'm expecting it to be about 7 more months until I get my form 4 approved and my supressor ships. Would like to eventually put a thermal scope on it for nighttime pig hunting. c2611880403edab7725ea367786b81dc.jpg

  2. Regarding brackish desal, SAWS has a decent setup. One thing to keep in mind, as mentioned up thread, the cost for groundwater desal considerably more economic than sea water desal because you're not having to knock out as much TDS. Plus, you also can further reduce the treatment demand if you have enough freshwater to blend it down before going to distribution.

  3. As a more local utilization of the excess Mississippi, I think managed aquifer recharge of the Ogallala is worth investigating in more detail. My opinion is that continued dewatering of the Ogallala and high plains aquifer systems poses a a greater threat in terms of long term supply resiliency

  4. I've been listening to that same sales pitch from guys for nearly 25 years.  There's a jillion reasons that tech 1) isn't everywhere and 2) isn't a solution to large-scale water needs.  It has a place.  But "solving huge needs for lots of water at an affordable price" ain't it.
    Agreed. But, if it were capable of supplying large demands, could you imagine the legal/ regulatory shit show regarding appropriation of atmospheric water?

    Over the last few years there have been a number of threads on here regarding water resources related topics. I found myself trying to find a few of these today and was wishing there was a centralized repository for these, hence this thread.

     

    As the number of water users and development continue to increase both across the state and especially locally, we're likely going to have to be a bit more creative in how we manage our supplies and mitigate storm water impacts. The State has a couple of decades of experience in water supply planning, and is just wrapping up their inaugural flood plan efforts. New technologies/ strategies are being implemented to address these areas. Here's one of my favorite technical topics with local relevance:

    As this board seems to have quite a few bright people with diverse backgrounds and views on these subjects, I figured this would be a good place to discuss as these topics come up.

  6. The prose of that post, with how it's put together along with the descriptors...I highly doubt this occurred. This seems like obvious whoring for attention. Not unlike the 'look at the good deed I'm doing' videos that I see on LinkedIn

  7. if it’ll take a day to get that video posted above out of your head then nutty putty would haunt your dreams every day for the rest of your life. 
    Saw a YouTube video on the dude who got trapped in nutty putty. That has got to be about the worst way to go. I put it up there with the people who get crushed between train cars but remain alive until the cars are pulled apart.
  8. "West-central" is an interesting label for that part of Texas but I guess I've never thought about what I'd call that part of Texas. Northwest seems slightly more accurate. Or maybe southeast West Texas.
    The Big Country is how I've described that area. Most of that area is in the upper brazos basin. I tend to think of Texas Hill country as being the in the Colorado and Guadalupe basins west of 35.
