Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "Mexico Declares State Of Emergency Over Worsening Drought" video.
Let's talk about this possible solution to Mexico and the USA's water problem. I am an inventor and my mentor is Sir Richard Dyson. Dyson made 5,237 tries to get his vacuum cleaner to work and it finally happened on the 5,238th time. Why do I mention this? Because my idea may take 5,239 times before we get it right but I know it would help. We need to think back to Roman times and the aqueducts. In our time constructing aqueducts over thousands of kilometers would not work for a number of reasons. But we could use existing rail lines and roads to put the aqueducts under the rails, under the highways and under the national roads. We could pump water from water-rich regions or where colossal storms have happened and send that water to the drought-stricken areas and fill reservoirs and lakes like Lake Meade, Lake Powell and California and Mexicos dried-up reservoirs. Above ground aqueducts would be an eyesore to see pipes everywhere above ground and but putting pipes underground would give roads and railways have a duel purpose. This needs to be tried and tried until we get it right. At this writing 240,000,000 olympic sized swimming pools of fresh water are flowing off the Greenland glacier every day. We need to get huge water-tankers filling up and bringing the H2O to Mexico's coast, the USA's coast and every country that is experiencing drought. If there were under-road aqueducts at docks, the water could be sent to the worst affected areas. We have got to try everything and be prepared for a lot of experimentation.
