'A 7,000-year-old well found in Czechia’s Pardubice region six years ago will soon be on display as part of an archaeological exhibition at the Museum of East Bohemia. The wooden well, which has been in the care of restorers for the last few years, is, according to analyses, the oldest wooden man-made object in the world.'
"Millions of years ago, sediment from the Rocky Mountains was deposited in the High Plains. Over thousands of years, water dripped below the surface creating an underground water deposit called the Ogallala Aquifer. The water — which spans from South Dakota to Texas and was once the size of Lake Huron — at one point accounted for 30% of the crop and animal production in the U.S…
Although the water source stretches across several states it moves very very slowly. As a result, no interstate compact exists to manage the water in the Ogallala. Instead, neighbors have to band together if they want to restrict pumping…” #GIS#spatial#mapping#hydrogeology#waterresources#watermanagement#modeling#ogallala#OgallalaAquifer#water#hydrology#watersecurity#pumping#mining#irrigation#farming#agriculture#midwest#aquifer#overpumping
IMO,
humanity should have been implementing #agrivoltaics and raised-field agriculture, #WaruWaru style, including huge #WaterManagement and #irrigation systems in all regions bound to have or experiencing "monsoon type" rainfall for decades.
The necessary construction would dwarf anything in human history.
We are about 3-4 decades late.
