    Build pipelines of water.

    Build a tank car factory for trains. A few thousand per town will be a good start. You can bury 14000 gallon texas Cisterns under all houses in the back yard, hook it up to the house. And hook a pipe into it that will go to the siding where 50 tank cars can be unloaded into racks capable of feeding every home's Cistern in a week. Be about another oh... 3 months before they have to do that again. The cost of 14000 gallons delivered? Oh... around roughly 140 dollars give or take.

    Build a desalination plant on anything that has salt in it. Take the salt out, learn how to burn for power.

    Move from Arizona when water runs out or becomes more than what the value of annual crops would be worth.

    Ours is turning to sand slowly under our feet about 410 feet down give or take 50. We already run two pipe lines to Greers Ferry. We are now looking to lay down more pipe hither thither and yon.
