    So the Medici's built an aqueduct to bring in fresh water to Paris, to their Luxembougian gardens. It is unusually difficult to find out about this aqueduct on the internet because the articles are usually about the Medici aqueduct in Italy, not Paris, and the Parisian articles are either focused on the Medici fountains- not the aqueduct, or are in french. I have a strange obsession with aqueducts of antiquity, ever since I read Blind White Fish in Persia, about the qanats of Iran. If you have an english source on the Medici Aqueducts in Paris, please share a link. I would love to visit some of the pumping stations in paris, or the actual aqueducts in Southern Paris. Thanks!
    I have now forgotten anything about the aqueducts and am wondering about Mol's cross dressing. How do you do that accidentally?

        Is there any drought anywhere anymore?

          Not here. Most snow ever in the month of February for Bend. And only one county in Oregon is less than 100% of normal.

            By that chart, if Hartsville had a mountain, we'd have 390" of snow.

              The mountain near here has 606".

                Stay cold Utah, so lake Mead can get refilled.

                  First we'll fill Powell and then maybe if there is any left over Mead can get a drop or two. Screw Las Vegas!

                    Powell will never be filled. Way too much water loss from having that lake around. Time to drain it and keep it all in Lake Mead.

                        Mead is California's lake. For that reason alone, they'll never drain Mead.

                          Having moved from Arizona decades ago, I don't have to worry about water supplies much as I used to. Sorry for you southwestern people who moved to desert climates and are now nervous about shrinking reservoirs!

                          Even though we're in the high desert, Bend gets essentially all of it's water supply from snow melt. Half from a creek source, and half from an aquafier that's recharged by melting snow into a porous basin. They are both replenished each year as long as we get normal snowfall. Local agriculture depends somewhat on reservoir supplies.

                              And Oregon. Screw Oregon too for good measure!

                                How is that different from how Utah and Arizona get their water? It all comes from rain and snow.
