California Central Valley’s Water Crisis and the Delta Smelt
ByCalifornia Central Valley’s Water Crisis, the Delta Smelt, and the American Bread Basket
California's Central Valley - Land of the Free..... Delta Smelt
Well, well, well…. is this the promise to look into the Central Valley and Delta Smelt fiasco? Wow, look at the Administration take swift action…. apparently not! They have a fancy new term “California Bay-Delta Memorandum of Understanding Among Federal Agencies” for looking into a situation and setting a deadline planning date December 1st, 2009. This does not mean anything will yet be accomplished. The valley will still be dry, crops will not be growing, and the residents will still be in dire conditions.
I don’t want to interfere with the prestigious group that has been rounded up to look busy but let’s simplify the whole process. These are immediate steps that can be done within 24 hours:
1) Place the nets
1) Release the water
2) Patrol the nets to rescue any Delta Smelt
This is a step that needs to be initiated immediately:
Use this group to investigate the sales and diversions of water in California (Tip – It’s always been “All About the Money!”) When you find the profiteer, the rest becomes clear. Californians investigate! It’s there and the trail leads to places you would never suspect. Well, maybe you would with the politics of today.
I have seen quite a circle of “fishy” tactics and continue to research this ordeal that was Legislatively orchestrated. This was a Government-Made Crisis and there is plenty of blame to go around.
Looks like Bakersfield is not resting. There is a case pending with oral arguments on the constitutionality of past conflicting reports and conditions today – October 2, 2009.
Amazing that a December “planning” deadline is announced for this special group. This then gives the local electorate ample time to promise the moon through November voting day to sell themselves. The voters and residents will be left holding the “proverbial bag” in December when the water still doesn’t flow. This record is now skipping on repeat since 2007 and no one appears to be budging. It’s not like California is not aware of this ongoing problem. The people are trying to be heard.
Alerts go out for any meeting regarding the water in the California Central Valley. Californians participate!
By the way, has anyone asked about the point of origin with respect to the produce that will be used at World Veg Festival in San Francisco this weekend?
Somebody just get a wrench!

Sorry, too easy.

Water Innovation 2009
Water harvest in considerable amounts from inexhaustible resources of drinking water in dry warm areas from the humidity of the air surrounding the earth’s surface which is warmed up during the last years because of the climate change, in addition, and thereby owns increased humidity capacity.
The innovation is explained in 2 variations:
Variation 1: The innovation consists of bringing the warm air up to the elevation of about 2400m, where it is cooled and subsequently, “sprayed” with cold water (condensed in the elevation of about 3800m) in addition to which, it is enriched with aerosol particles. Based on this principle, in taking the air down, the water condensation can take place.
We would like to implement this vision by using techniques utilizing the law of physics describing how the warm air rises up while the cold air flows down and water condenses in the cooled air.
Large amounts of surrounding warm air, from which by cooling in the height, water is condensed flows through the first piping into higher, cooler air layers, and serves at the same time as a carrier gas determining the buoyancy force of warm air balloons which are mutually positioned in predetermined distances one about another (in heights of about 1400, 2400 and 3800 meters above sea level). The lowest balloon carries two lightweight textile pipings of a large diameter. The middle balloon also carries these pipelines as well as a textile warm/cool exchanger which has partially itself balloon effect. The uppermost and smallest balloon carries its textile warm air feed pipe of a smaller diameter, as well as textile cooling surfaces with fine-meshed nets where water condenses on from the warm air streaming out of the balloon to the surrounding. The condensing water is collected by a textile funnel that is attached to the balloon, and then the water is escorted by a textile water pipe into the middle balloon.
The prevailing amount of air flowing up through the first piping and used for a chemical water preparation is mixed with mineral molecules (dust) as well as aerosol molecules. This air is flowing through the middle balloon and afterwards it flows into the textile warm/cool exchanger where it cools down. Due to this cooling, the air can flow on its own through the second textile piping downwards. In these downwards piping immediately after the warm/cool exchanger cold water (condensed in the uppermost balloon) is sprayed in, so that from here on, an intense water condensation from the before warm air starts. These water harvest continues in an air-inflated tent on the earth’s surface wich is automatically carried from the downwards flowing air and equipped with technical resources for water harvest up to the exhaust of the “water-technical” exploited air. Water from water harvest is collected in reservoir.
Variation 2:
In a water condensing device of a simple construction type, drinking water is produced by the surrounding air condensation on the condensing surfaces whereas the air is drawn from higher, cooler air levels (between 2500 to 4000 meters above sea level).
The cold air from high levels flows through lightweight piping made of textile cloth materials complete with cold insulation, onto condensing surfaces on the device to be cooled down. Through the heat/cold exchange process taking its course during the condensation, the previously cold air is warmed up and changing its density.
The now warm air is flowing through the textile piping made of lightweight cloth, absorbing heat from its surroundings and sun rays, until it reaches the warm air balloon with its equipment and devices. The warm air balloon carries the lightweight piping and keeps it in an upright floatation.
Warm air flowing into the insides of the warm air balloon serves as a carrier gas which keeps the balloon at the desired height of 2500-4000 meters above sea level in place.
The free floating warm air balloon is fastened to a cable which is anchored to the earth surface and is also bearing the textile piping with its location determined by the cable length.
Redundant service air acquired from the warm air balloon is disposed of with the help of disposal air balloon.
To assure the autarkic operation of this water acquiring device, and for subsequent air warming when sun radiance is lacking, the originating currents will be used based on their energy-technical aspect.
I inform you with pleasure after inquiry about details or other questions of this innovation protected under patent law.

Some interesting concepts you have provided. Is there any documentation that would back up this idea?
Good luck all with tomorrow's meeting! http://westernfarmpress.com/news/water-crisis-101…
Commenting usually isnt my thing, but ive spent an hour on the site, so thanks for the info
Greetings from Tim.
Hey, I just realized, we have a lot of hot air to pump up. But the moisture recovered will burn like acid, just like the words.
