Let us not completely ignore the environmental repercussions of this =
proposal. This obviously will, could, or might affect the balance of =
ground water, surface water, and the great Snake River aquifer here in =
Idaho. I have been in Idaho 34 years and all but two of those years the =
Governor has declared a "Drought." Nobody seems to consider that this =
area is a desert.
Assuming the dehydrated water in the can contains at least some water, =
taking this limited natural resource from this area could have profound =
effects on an already fragile ecosystem.
Taking the water from the mountain to the north is out of the question =
because of the adverse effects on the slopes of road construction and =
runoff into the creeks and watershed, hence on the fish and wildlife. =
But being open minded about it, an environmental feasibility study could =
be done.
Taking the water from the Boise River is out of the question because of =
the Wetland Habitat restrictions and, again ,the erosion factors along =
the riverbanks. Many years ago the college kids would prospect for =
gold in the rivers and streams, but the silt would muddied the water, =
depressed the fish, so that is no longer allowed.
Taking the water from the desert to the south of Boise I think would be =
perfectly permitable, but there are numerous Native American petrographs =
throughout the desert land, which has made it necessary to make great =
regions of the desert off limits. We also have the "Bureau Snail," =
which is unique to the area and is on the Endangered Species list, but a =
feasibility study could be done.
This vast area of land runs from Boise for hundreds of miles south, all =
desert but a town now and then, like Reno and Winnemucca, Nevada. Keep =
in mind you could not use ground water, because of the strain already on =
the Snake River aquifer. Surface water would be okay if you could =
locate some, once you attained the necessary environmental impact study, =
and various State and Federal permits.
After thinking out loud about this, I suggest it most likely can't be =
done in Idaho because of our limited natural resources and our limited =
renewable natural resources, like water.
I don't think Idaho could offer to manufacture the cans. We used to =
have lots of lead mines, but they are all gone. So even the lead for =
soldering the can seams would not be feasible. If the label is made =
from wood pulp, we would have to pass up the manufacturing of those, as =
we no longer operate wood mills in Idaho. We have billions and =
billions of trees, but because of restrictions they can't be harvested, =
thinned, or put to good use, hence the pulp mills have closed.
But, "where there is a will, there is a way." This Canned Water could =
be marketed. I suggest we import the necessary "seed waters" from =
Canada, in the same manner as we do for natural gas and oil products, or =
from Venezuela, or the Middle East. I did some careful calculations and =
cost analyses. We could process, can, and market the dehydrated water =
for about $4.15 per gallon for regular dehydrated, and $4.85 for the =
premium.
This has nothing to do with earthquakes, so my apologies for taking up =
space.

I suppose every seismometry lab and kitchen, should have one of =

(Just follow the directions on the photo can label....simple =

Think it was made around the 1950's....wonder if its edible now...or =
stale?
Probably a good old weight loss diet perhaps...
The "contents" are probably purer than todays ...
The weld lining might have some lead in the weld....bad for the =
brains....
Save it for afew thousand years, for at mo spheric evaluation?
Made in California.....is that really good?
I don't think it would make a good seismometer mass...the can is =
ferromagnetic.
Theres NO pull tab on top....what do we do now?
Can it you say? Can the can?
Do we need a professional or learned evaluation?
