i have also heard a rumor that the boleo mine north of mulege needs water and that they are, in part, financing this diversion project in the hope
that they might get fresh water to use in their project...that's a long stretch of the imagination to think that they can pump this incredible volume
of water 40+ miles north but that's the rumor...anyone?...anyone?...bueller?

Water is usually pumped a short distance to a high point, then gravity does all the work from there.

Mulege's water comes from the same place as the floods. Just comes a lot slower though the ground. If the diversion scheme works, it seems like it
might help with the long term flow to the wells and the estuary. Like give the water a bit more time to soak in.
If the Boleo project gets it's hands on the water, I think it is likely that the ground water in and around Mulege might be adversely affected.
Scenario being that Mulege dries up and blows away after which the mine is exhausted and the whole area goes to hell.
I wonder what the world would be like if humans were looking a bit further into the future?

Great question.....I sometimes see the human race as a virus....or, as a parasite that has not the grace to enter into a symbiotic relationship with
its host.....
"There are three types of symbiosis: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutalism is symbiosis in which both organisms benefit. Commensalism is
symbiosis in which one organism benefits and the other is not harmed or helped. Parasitism is symbiosis in which one organism benefits and the other
is harmed."
Don't believe everything you think....

...yeh,,I've long appreciated the indigenous perspective of considering any decision 7 generations into the future.
,,,,as far as I'm concerned,,,,cities are to the planet what cancer can be to the human body ...symbiosis indeed!
