The ongoing drought affecting the midwestern and southern regions of the United States has led to alarmingly low water levels in the Mississippi River. The situation has resulted in the intrusion of saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico into the river in southeast Louisiana, posing a potential threat to the drinking water supply for thousands of residents in the coming weeks.

Salty or not, just how good could river water be in the first place?

You got that right Jerry. Several years ago I owned property with a well on it. A couple co-workers said I'd never drink that. They quieted down when I told them this. When you think of a river you have to think in terms of a watershed. All the area that drains into that river. After a dry spell when it rains it's called "first flush." All the crap on the roads, roofs, etc., get flushed into a river (oil and other vehicle fluids, bird crap, etc. On top of that all the communities up and down that river dump their treated water into it. In that treated water is all kinds of pharmaceuticals, urine, micro bits of toilet paper, micro bits of woman's napkins, etc., and many chemicals. None of that can be treated for drinking water. -sammy
DeleteYes, the Mississippi is low. Oh yeah and COVID is real. BULLSHIT, they already tried this 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteActually this has nothing to do with c19 or any climate change bullshit... The extra dry conditions and lack of rain along the Ohio Valley and the Midwest overall is causing this..... Occasionally in dry years ship traffic is restricted by the Coast Guard so they don't run aground, this is averydry year.

ReplyDeleteMore proof that not even the Mississippi River wants to go to New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteWashington DC wastes millions of dollars forcing the river to go through its old channel rather then down the Atchafalaya.
True, unfortunately so much has changed since that locking system was built that letting the Mississippi get back to its natural flow would wipe out thousands of homes now.... In the old days people watched the river and built on high ground now it's drain it, fill it and build on it...
DeleteIf you're from the area you may remember what a royal fuck up the Armonn Estates Subdivision between the river road and Airline Hwy north of LaPlace was a year after it was built... 2ft of water in $ 300,000 houses after a rainstorm..

Was in New Orleans today. “Salt water intrusion” was the talk at lunch. Raised in New Orleans, but glad (for a number of reasons) I don’t live there anymore.
DeleteNever lived in New Orleans but have lived off and on an hour drive to the west and I do own an acre in central Plaquemine Parish, Port Sulphur area, where I used to have a small weekend get away house to stay when fishing and hunting down there.... Katrina wiped it out, nothing left but the slab, so I have just a small travel trailer there now... Yes its a very big mess in NOLA, Can't Tell and her cronies are finishing the destruction that baby moon began...
DeleteAre you still in the boot or did you get out all together.
