Check this out:

""What this project does is it uses pipes like this to go downstream
and collect it; work against gravity to bring it back up. And then
we'll treat it and flow it through our system back to the South
Platte," said Binney."

That's right...."work against gravity"...read it and weap boys.

I think a water grid is easily within grips. No drought, no flooding,
just good, clean water for all.

A cash flow runs through it

Oooooh! Magical Pipes, defying gravity!

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTT!

See all those pumping stations, Tim?

/daytripper (ahahahahahahhaahaha!)

My point has always been that pumping was cost effective if other ways
couldn't be made to work. This just proves it. I still think it's
possible to used staged siphon but I acknowledge that's way out there.
So, each little pump station has it's own solar grid and water is
going, well, anywhere it needs to. No more flood, no more drought just
abundant, safe water for all.

How does "this just proves it"? That the plan resorts to using pumps
proves
pumping is more cost effective than something that won't work - like
"staged
siphons"?

/daytripper (ohhhh kayyyyyy...)

Nothing at all wrong with the idea of siphoning water through a series of
reservoirs from the waterlogged east to the parched west. The science is
sound. The solution is a simply matter of engineering. All that really
needs to be done is the construction of the initial reservoir at about
12,000 feet.

However, there is a simpler, cheaper, and much more elegant solution.

Pueblo, being at a considerably greater elevation than, say, Milwaukee, a
pipeline could be constructed to carry water downhill from Pueblo to the
shore of Lake Michigan. The enormous pressure exerted by a 4220 foot head
(~4880 foot altitude at Pueblo - ~580 at Milwaukee) could be used to push
water back through a pipeline from Lake Michigan to Colorado. Thus, a much
smaller number of staged reservoirs would be needed to distribute the water
from Pueblo to the rest of the west, and there is the added advantage of the
4000+ foot elevation gain, which would make the siphoning that much easier
and concomitantly cheaper.

who supposes that some people just never will be able to grasp basic
physics. :)

Do you often have these "Eureka Moments"? ;-)

I suppose you could blame them on over-exposure to Tim...
