Meanwhile - back at the farm...
Residents asked to stop outdoor watering in Oklahoma Panhandle | News OK
If you'd RTA, you'd see Guymon's problems had zip to do with a water shortage and were because of pump failures.
When I lived in Guymon the water was very cheap, so was the natural gas.
Guymon has very high quality water that they draw from the Ogallala aquifer. Any town can have the type of water problem they are having.
Many years ago the aquifer spring fed streams and small rivers that would have helped keep Canton Lake and other lakes full. But agricultural use has depleted this ancient source of water. At some point in the next 50 years farming with this water will become unpractical. I have read that some 20% of our nation’s agricultural production is grown with Ogallala aquifer water.
Please excuse this post, it only applies to one, and he will know who he is.
If you want to say something to me, say it publicly in an open forum. I have NO FEAR, I repeat NO FEAR of you. Soon, I will know who you are.
Thank you for your patience, and please forgive the intrusion.
It rained today, so I thought I might post in this thread.
I'm glad it rained there. Please do not take my previous post personally.
I drove through the panhandle last week (Denver to Midland and back on Monday and Thursday) and saw a what looked like a water pipeline being put in along US-287 and the railroad tracks in Texas and Oklahoma. SE Colorado is very dry but had some rain on Thursday evening.
I have heard rumors of a water pipeline, but my understanding was it was existing, being converted to water. An oilfield thing.
This looked to be new as the pipe was laying on the ground and trenching equipment was on site, there are many miles of it waiting to be buried. I know Boone Pickens was trying to get water down from further north to the DFW area, not sure if this had anything to do with this project or not.
My understanding, is the water is coming from the east.
This is rumors only.
No, I am not. I didn't mean anything.
Those dependent on Lake Meredith are very thirsty.
Then what the hell did you mean by this?No, I am not. I didn't mean anything.
It sounds like a threat to me.
You then said I shouldn't take it personally... well, when someone makes threats like that, I think that's cause for concern and an indication I might be dealing with a slightly imbalanced individual.
Please explain this to me.
