    My brother picked this up as a 6th birthday gift for my son. It's Birmingham Small Arms falling block .357, made in Australia. Don't know very much about it yet, but a pretty neat little gun

    Just a data point not wholly related to the topic, but a person can easily get sucked into a relatively small diameter gravity main. In 2020, there was a guy in Austin working in a manhole that was flowing and sucked him into a 18" line where he went for a ride until his body was recovered a few miles downstream at the plant.

    Between Wharton and Bay City. During the initial filling, a good bit of seepage discharge was observed on downstream side of the reservoir. A bentonite cut off wall was installed at beginning of construction, but there ended up being some sand pockets that weren't effectively cutoff which lead to the seepage issues. I know they're installing some relief wells to mitigate the seepage issue. I don't recall if they also ended up driving sheetpile on the interior of the ring dike.

    Ah, I figured it out

    Under high pressure, goes BOOM

    At first I was intrigued, but that accounts handle and lack of link suggests fake news

    This one caught me off gaurd

    They'll have access to sufficient water once the Alliance Regional Water Authority finishes out construction of their Phase 1B, though the next phase will probably be coming up sooner than originally planned

    There's enough empty volume in Buchanan such that they don't have* to make releases. *subject to LCRAs management plan for the highland lake system

    I carry the 365 xmacro tacops with an enigma holster and am pleased with how easy it is to conceal.

    Here I was assuming you were either a lawyer or an engineer. Now I know, you're the BD guy

    50% is high. It's been awhile since I looked at the averages, but I think net evap is on the order of 30-40 in/yr. But you're correct, ASR has the potential to cut those losses dramatically. That said, one of the technical challenges to ASR is protecting your stored water bubble. If the groundwater gradients are too steep (relatively high lateral movement), this can cause a portion of the stored water to move beyond the capture radius of the well, and that water is essentially 'lost'. On the most recent asr Class V injection well authorization I worked on, losses do to groundwater movement came in around 25%.

    For sure. And it can be a hard sale as it's not a new water supply but just firms up existing supplies.

    I know some entities around Houston are exploring this (capturing and injecting stormwater). The difficult part is that you have do some level of pretreatment before injecting. At a minimum this would involve knocking out suspended solids to prevent fouling of the formation. Beyond this, the state regs require that the injected water be of at least as 'good' of quality as the native groundwater. The technology is there, but the infrastructure requirements are substantial especially when considering that there may be extended periods of equipment/facility downtime.

    Except for the 75%+ portion of the dark red that's in the Guadalupe and San Antonio basin?

    It will be interesting to see what the state does here re: Aqua. There are two (at least) regulatory issues here. The first is with regards to the groundwater district being able to recover damages for the overpumping by Aqua, which will end up in court. The second is with regards to Aquas inability to maintain minium regulatory capacity in its public water supply system in violation of state law. I could see they're CCN being revoked, though doubt any entity will be willing to take it over.

    UTRWD is currently building one, Ralph Hall, just a stones throw from Bois D'Arc. There are quite a few reservoir projects both conventional and off channel included in the regional water plans from the last cycle. I anticipate we see quite a few going in over the next three decades

    Based on the story, I'd have assumed this individual was one of Cherokee Shores finest. Kind of through me for a loop after I looked at his Facebook

    Alright, that was pretty cool. Pictures don't do it any justice

    Early bird for the squirrel buffet. It was perched in a crepe myrtle about 10 feet out the backdoor. First time I've observed one this close to a house.

    The forum reappeared in tapa for me sometime this afternoon/ evening

    Re-frame your thinking. You're not purchasing a gun; you're contributing to your child's future savings/college account via your 357 plan.

    I can rarely remember a name after initial encounter, but I'm wanting to say it was Keith (short hair slender fellow, maybe late 40s early 50s). Please correct me if I'm wrong on the name.

    Got it from Guns Warehouse based on some comments upthread. Was very pleased with the customer service

    Picked up a new fidget spinner today.
