Drought/flood relief...

Seems like the West Coast is perpetually in drought, or at least water restrictions in anticipation of drought. While not far east, there is usually several places experiencing a surplus of water, if not flooding. We have rail service from coast-to-coast. We have a surplus of shipping containers, which conveniently fit on rail cars. There is mountains of recyclable plastic nobody really wants to use for anything. Why not make storage container liners, or tanks to fit in them, out of the plastic. Fill them with surplus water in flood prone areas, and send them west to the drought prone areas? The liner idea is better, since the containers could also be loaded with snow or ice during the winter. They don't need to be perfectly water-tight, it's free water, no harm if some of it leaks on the trip west. The water doesn't have to be clean and pristine either. Most should be fine for watering the lawn, flushing toilets, showering the homeless. Could also just be dumped in reservoirs, for hydroelectric.

The thing is that surplus rain water is generally channeled out to sea. Takes time, and flooding isn't generally a one storm event. Usually weeks of wet weather. Pretty much assured that there are areas that won't mind having a few hundred thousand gallons of water hauled off. Won't really prevent flooding, or drain off a meaningful amount to quickly drain a flooded area. Over time though, it will reduce some of the impact, as a preventative, and mitigation.

The water hauled isn't going to be pure, clean consumable water, but can be used for a lot of things, and free up some of the good water. It's not going to be horrible water, since it's the same water that runs off into rivers and streams, lakes.

Freight trains will run, whether the are pulling a hundred cars, or a dozen. Really should be hard to work in some sort of deal to haul some water cars when running a little light on commercial freight. People desperate for any water, will likely pick up the full tab for transportation anyway... It's free water. The containers aren't grossly expensive. Extruding recycled plastic isn't expensive, and already available. Many places in flood prone areas, already have portable pumps... Seems like only a modest investment, to move some much needed water.

LA uses 534 million gallons of water every day. This equates to 17,466 rail cars of water per day at 30,000 gallons per car. That said a full freight train of water would supply LA's water for about .1 seconds. Furthermore, there are no extra tanker cars certified for hauling drinking water, not one.

Never claimed it would be a replacement, or drinking water. Could be treated though. There are a lot of uses for water, besides drinking. The transported water is supplemental. For some, it might mean the can water their tomato plants a little more often, without getting fined for breaking drought restrictions. Don't really give a crap for California. Lot of places west, that need water too, before getting to California. California's problem is mis-management...

All I know is there are a lot of potential customers out west, for a surplus that exists in the east. The water is free for the taking.

Dude even if every railcar and track moved water to California it would still not equal 1 percent of the daily use. PS, wouldn't a pipeline make more sense? Sure it would but the pipe would need to be 100 feet around to make a dent.

Obviously, thinking isn't one of your talents... It doesn't matter what your home town's daily water use, it's restricted. You get caught watering your tomatoes on the wrong day, you sell some of your Apple stock to pay the fine. Birds crap all over your car, you get to drive around in a crappy car, until car wash day. There will be a point, where hydroelectric dams can't produce, when the water is need for everything more important than electricity. You can't use daily, what you just don't have. Drought means they don't have enough water to meet all of their needs. Which is why they restrict use. Any water brought in, is better than continuing to use up what little they have left.

Of course, the liberal left only thinks that if they can't just write a check, and the entire problem is 'fixed', it's not worth considering. This isn't a quick fix, it's just some relief. They'll still need to manage their water resources, and pray for more rain. I never expect to fulfill all of anyone's daily wants and needs. You have a few shares of Apple stock, so you believe you are better off, than people who own none. A little bit of extra water, is better than not enough. Expecting daily deliveries of the same volume normally used in the day, is ignorant, at best. Trains run 24/7 and can deliver some water daily. It might rain a little, briefly, once or twice a month. It'll add up over time.

You are a genius. You know that a jug of water won't do anything for a man who is thirsty. You are one of the few who are willing to recognize that a dry lawn won't benefit from being watered ... it won't even help.

Where are all the wise people like you when the world needs one?

Remember, I'm not a genius like you are. It would never occur to me to ship bottles of water as a means to turn a drought around.

I would probably just recommend that water be collected right there in the state as opposed to not collecting it. Also, I would prevent the mismanagement of the already abundant water resources. But this is only because I'm not as smart as you.

LOL I being brilliant would recommend that the ass-holes in California stop crying and start building desalination plants like Saudi Arabia has. Your IQ does not however allow for rational thought of any kind.

So how much do they pay you to humiliate yourself here?

They already have sufficient desalination available.

It's called 'rain' and 'snow'. They just don't collect it.

It's called 'rain' and 'snow'. They just don't collect it.

No matter Harvey is going to fill up his empty Coke bottles and send them to California which will fix everything. So how about you, do they pay you enough to be the fool?

LOL

Remember, I'm not a genius like you are. It would never occur to me to ship bottles of water as a means to turn a drought around.

I would probably just recommend that water be collected right there in the state as opposed to not collecting it. Also, I would prevent the mismanagement of the already abundant water resources. But this is only because I'm not as smart as you.

LOL I being brilliant would recommend that the ass-holes in California stop crying and start building desalination plants like Saudi Arabia has. Your IQ does not however allow for rational thought of any kind.

Seems like the West Coast is perpetually in drought, or at least water restrictions in anticipation of drought. While not far east, there is usually several places experiencing a surplus of water, if not flooding. We have rail service from coast-to-coast. We have a surplus of shipping containers, which conveniently fit on rail cars. There is mountains of recyclable plastic nobody really wants to use for anything. Why not make storage container liners, or tanks to fit in them, out of the plastic. Fill them with surplus water in flood prone areas, and send them west to the drought prone areas? The liner idea is better, since the containers could also be loaded with snow or ice during the winter. They don't need to be perfectly water-tight, it's free water, no harm if some of it leaks on the trip west. The water doesn't have to be clean and pristine either. Most should be fine for watering the lawn, flushing toilets, showering the homeless. Could also just be dumped in reservoirs, for hydroelectric.

The thing is that surplus rain water is generally channeled out to sea. Takes time, and flooding isn't generally a one storm event. Usually weeks of wet weather. Pretty much assured that there are areas that won't mind having a few hundred thousand gallons of water hauled off. Won't really prevent flooding, or drain off a meaningful amount to quickly drain a flooded area. Over time though, it will reduce some of the impact, as a preventative, and mitigation.

The water hauled isn't going to be pure, clean consumable water, but can be used for a lot of things, and free up some of the good water. It's not going to be horrible water, since it's the same water that runs off into rivers and streams, lakes.

Freight trains will run, whether the are pulling a hundred cars, or a dozen. Really should be hard to work in some sort of deal to haul some water cars when running a little light on commercial freight. People desperate for any water, will likely pick up the full tab for transportation anyway... It's free water. The containers aren't grossly expensive. Extruding recycled plastic isn't expensive, and already available. Many places in flood prone areas, already have portable pumps... Seems like only a modest investment, to move some much needed water.

LA uses 534 million gallons of water every day. This equates to 17,466 rail cars of water per day at 30,000 gallons per car. That said a full freight train of water would supply LA's water for about .1 seconds. Furthermore, there are no extra tanker cars certified for hauling drinking water, not one. You may now resume masterbating

Never claimed it would be a replacement, or drinking water. Could be treated though. There are a lot of uses for water, besides drinking. The transported water is supplemental. For some, it might mean the can water their tomato plants a little more often, without getting fined for breaking drought restrictions. Don't really give a crap for California. Lot of places west, that need water too, before getting to California. California's problem is mis-management...

All I know is there are a lot of potential customers out west, for a surplus that exists in the east. The water is free for the taking.

Dude even if every railcar and track moved water to California it would still not equal 1 percent of the daily use. PS, wouldn't a pipeline make more sense? Sure it would but the pipe would need to be 100 feet around to make a dent.

You may resume choking the chicken now

Obviously, thinking isn't one of your talents... It doesn't matter what your home town's daily water use, it's restricted. You get caught watering your tomatoes on the wrong day, you sell some of your Apple stock to pay the fine. Birds crap all over your car, you get to drive around in a crappy car, until car wash day. There will be a point, where hydroelectric dams can't produce, when the water is need for everything more important than electricity. You can't use daily, what you just don't have. Drought means they don't have enough water to meet all of their needs. Which is why they restrict use. Any water brought in, is better than continuing to use up what little they have left.

Of course, the liberal left only thinks that if they can't just write a check, and the entire problem is 'fixed', it's not worth considering. This isn't a quick fix, it's just some relief. They'll still need to manage their water resources, and pray for more rain. I never expect to fulfill all of anyone's daily wants and needs. You have a few shares of Apple stock, so you believe you are better off, than people who own none. A little bit of extra water, is better than not enough. Expecting daily deliveries of the same volume normally used in the day, is ignorant, at best. Trains run 24/7 and can deliver some water daily. It might rain a little, briefly, once or twice a month. It'll add up over time.

You are a moron, now tell us more about how filling old plastic bottles with water will solve California's water problem?

LOL do you have downs syndrome?

You are the only moron talking solution. It's intended to give a little mitigation/relief.

Back, during my mis-guided youth... Tomato plants were a euphemism for the marijuana plants some people had growing in their backyards. The hippy parents didn't think we knew the difference. Mostly, we didn't really care, but knew not to say anything. Your reading comprehension/retention issues tends to support you smoke your 'tomatoes'. You seem to think owning Apple stock is a big deal. Yet, there are a lot of people who own Apple. Do they pay out generous dividends every year, or is the value only when you sell shares? I own a few stocks, some have little, to none profit distributions. Some pay out more. Your family and friends seem easily impressed. Doesn't seem to work as well here.

He's probably just jealous. The stock I did invest in has far outperformed Apple. It's my own company.
