The west is drying out and the east is getting more wet. They just raised our local "average rainfall" by 4" per year as it has been increasingly more and more wet here. The last few years, we have ended the calendar year sometimes 10+ inches of rain above normal. 60+ inches of rain per year is not uncommon here anymore. In 2020, our official total was 70.36". You guys out west are welcome to some of this.  |
THIS!! All of the right of ways have been purchased and cleared.. Would be relatively easy to set this up via the Interstates.. .. continuously pump excess water from the Great Lakes, the Mississippi or others.. Why some politicians haven't latched on to this idea is beyond me .. seems logical
