Snow, Sleet, Rain?

OK! About time I answered! and I will get "0" points for this. But I will accept it

STORMS, FLOODS, AND DROUGHTS
Again our politicians, the public, and FEMA have geared up to
donate sympathy, suggestions, help, repairs, and funds to return the
damage done by the floods to pre flood condition. Until the next
flood? Somehow it seems to me that it is a loose - loose game!
I do not believe, with the state of todays' technology, that
our powers that be could not take advantage of that excess water! Why
not use funds and labor,above that spent to repair the present flood
damage, to prevent major future damage and, at the same time, store
the excess water for use by future generations. We must prepare to
convert the damaging flood waters of today to a valuable asset for
tomorrow.
I know that it is impossible to prevent some damage due to
future floods; however, it is possible to reduce the total damage to
a minimum while diverting the excess water around the potential flood
plains to areas either needing it or where it can be stored for later
use.
The cost will be in the billions; however, there will be a
return from the investment. Consider:
Pumping stations at strategic locations along tributaries.
Add piping to move the water away from the natural drainage system in
a spider web distribution. Lay out the piping away from the wet areas
for storage and or return to an aquifer. Or to bypass low lying
residential areas.
Thousands of square miles of land to be prepared to receive
the excess water to act as percolating ponds during excess rainfall.
How else can we replenish the continual depletion of our
aquifers in our great plains. our Pacific coast, the South central
states, and other aquifers which had stored water for thousands of
years.
The emergency is already making its appearance today and, by
2020, water may be more expensive than our gasoline without the tax.
Santa Cruz, my residence, is a case in point. Our powers that be have
no idea how to properly prepare for their future needs.

Oh ye of little faith! Read on.

Good points... I think that they really should allocate funds for flood damages and repair so that in the future, they wouldn't have any more problems with this. There are water damage restoration companies that are willing to offer their valuable and affordable services. Water should be used effectively since there is an impending water shortage in the near future. phoenix water damage restoration
