Pat, I have written to you before. I am an inventor and an artist and I will say that I only have one US patent, so I am not in the big leagues by far, but I believe I have a solution to the water bombs or extremely heavy thunderstorms or mega-storms that are wreaking havoc around the world. Like in Houston, Texas and also quite a few months ago in Sydney, Australia, they had a water bomb event that flooded their cities and after it was noted that only 8% of the water in Sydney was saved and the rest sent into the sea. The Australian outback is in quasi-permanent drought and if that water from Syndey could have been sent to reservoirs, one can only imagine how much better off the farmers would be. If the Houston water had been piped to the Hoover Dam, it might have brought it up from the dangerously low-level it is now. Here is my invention: aqueducts in the form of piping under all of our national roads and railway tracks. Yes; just like in Roman times, but this time under the infra-structure! The excess rain water could be vacuumed up into the under-the-road pipes and sent to the four corners of the world if you see my point. The caveat is that there is no money back as an investment from doing this. Effectively, this is doom-loop this sort of project finds itself in. However, if the under-road pipes were to send oil, it would be a good investment. Pat, this is where my idea hits the fan and maybe you could find the silver thread to make it an investment where the big players could step in? It would work I firmly believe it would, but we need to convince our governments that ecologically it might be the way to have everybody and every country on earth with enough fresh water and our roads and railways would then have a dual purpose and we may be able to fill the reservoirs in the American west etc.
