The government is going to build a functioning pipeline in the next 20 days despite currently not even knowing where the money is going to come from?

If not enough water is reaching New Orleans, how does piping water from upriver change anything? I assume the plan is to bypass and screw over any small towns and wildlife areas between New Orleans and the start of the pipeline. Like the total amount of water in the river remains the same.

salt is going upstream so if they build a pipe from even further upstream where it's not salty yet it'll be fine. Don't worry about having to repeatedly do this or anything

Real hurthling! posted:they cannot run salt water in the pipes. OK, so the toilets aren't going to flush lol the federal government is going to shut down soon. I wonder if the Army Corps of Engineers is essential and keeps working. Seems like we have to get federal money to build this "gently caress you people upriver, we're taking the water" pipeline

I wonder if the people upriver will protest this. Especially if the salt wedge keeps going. I suppose if the pipeline is going right to the water plant intakes then we probably don't need to pump enough water out of the Mississippi upriver to make a difference in the flow rate. I feel like I'm probably being gaslit by local leaders on this one. Like they don't want to cause a panic (this would not happen anyway) but are themselves having panicked meetings right now about how hosed we are.

Researchers in Japan have confirmed microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that aren't yet fully understood. In a study published in Environmental Chemistry Letters, scientists climbed Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama in order to collect water from the mists that shroud their peaks, then applied advanced imaging techniques to the samples to determine their physical and chemical properties. The team identified nine different types of polymers and one type of rubber in the airborne microplastics -- ranging in size from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers. Each liter of cloud water contained between 6.7 to 13.9 pieces of the plastics. What's more, "hydrophilic" or water-loving polymers were abundant, suggesting the particles play a significant role in rapid cloud formation and thus climate systems. "If the issue of 'plastic air pollution' is not addressed proactively, climate change and ecological risks may become a reality, causing irreversible and serious environmental damage in the future," lead author Hiroshi Okochi of Waseda University warned in a statement Wednesday. When microplastics reach the upper atmosphere and are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, they degrade, contributing to greenhouse gasses, added Okochi. Microplastics -- defined as plastic particles under 5 millimeters -- come from industrial effluent, textiles, synthetic car tires, personal care products and much more. These tiny fragments have been discovered inside fish in the deepest recesses of the ocean peppering Arctic sea ice and blanketing the snows on the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. But the mechanisms of their transport have remained unclear, with research on airborne microplastic transport in particular limited. "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on airborne microplastics in cloud water," the authors wrote in their paper. Emerging evidence has linked microplastics to a range of impacts on heart and lung health, as well as cancers, in addition to widespread environmental harm. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/microplastics-are-present-in-clouds-confirm-japanese-scientists-4430609

check out Cadillac Desert for some interesting history into water disputes and engineering measures to pull water into urban centers. regarding an aqueduct from the Owens River to LA: quote:As the farmers who held out felt increasingly alone, their methods grew more and more violent. On May 21, 1924, a group of men “broke” into the Watterson brothers’ warehouse, “stole” three cases of dynamite, and blew a large section of the aqueduct to smithereens. From that moment on, William Mulholland refused to refer to anyone in the Owens Valley by any other name than “dynamiter.” Then, in August, Leicester Hall, who had been warned to stay away forever, returned to the valley and was abducted from a restaurant as he ate. He was driven blindfolded to a road’s end, where he found himself facing a grim-looking group of men and a noose strung over a tree. Hall saved himself by uttering the Freemason’s distress call; there were so many Masons among the valley population that one was in the gang of would-be lynchers, and he managed to talk the others out of murder. But the dynamitings continued. When the Department of Water and Power released a report that recommended “destroying all irrigation”—those were the exact words—in the valley, and it turned out that the main author was Joseph P. Lippincott, the response was a fresh series of blasts. Glasscock’s paper was now openly counseling sabotage. The Ku Klux Klan, sensing a perfect battle stage between “Hollywood”—which was to say, cities, big business, liberalism, and Jews—and the small-town, revanchist values it cherished, was sending recruiters into the valley and getting good results. Even Fred Eaton, after holding himself aloof, finally entered the fray against the city of which he had been mayor. “Wherever the hand of Los Angeles has touched Owens Valley,” he wrote in a letter to the editor, “it has turned back into desert.” I’m sure everyone knows how this story ends. surely this pattern will not be repeated in this case.
