  1. Before the Sony Trinitron, CM was the shit. Built like a tank.
    The plant was in Athens. It was abandoned when I was little, if not before my time. We'd drive by it on the way to the skating rink. I didn't realize the scale of the operation until much later on.

  2. Hank hung out at the organic grocery co-op’s farm. He brought some cows home after Mega Lo Mart buys the co-op. That hippie Appleseed takes them to the country.
    There's also the episode of with Luann and the pig farm operation. Seemed like that was a general reference to Arlen in the earlier episodes, like when Hank was chatting with the sooner propane salesman in the Cowboys training camp episode.
  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.
