[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1764006, member: 40072"] I am of the opinion it would have a tremendous economic impact if we could develop a practical methodology for the conversion of sea water to freshwater usage. It would, I think, be more practical to pump the water from the Pacific to a large holding area where the separation would take place. (Yes, it would take several thousand acre feet of storage) Construction, security and maintenance could be managed on an inland site and risk of wave action damage would not become an issue. I will be first to admit this is not going to take place on a Cattle Today forum. I have a 1st cousin who retired from Black and Veatch not too long ago. If I remember right, he was involved in the Florida Everglade project at one time. Provided it were feasible from an engineering approach it will be a project that would approach the Eisenhower Interstate Hi-Way Project. I am concerned of how much salt would need to be extracted and the resulting salt basin. I would not be surprised to find out that studies have and will continued to be made on this venture. I plan on contacting him and seeing if he has a feel for the practicality of such a project or if such is underway. I have no plans to visit this topic again anytime in the near future on these pages. Getting cooperation from the current administration could prove a problem as any viable solution to any economic situation does not seem to fit the planned rhetoric. Hopefully there will be some positive news in the not too distant... In the mean pray for adequate rain or snow, [/QUOTE]
