Such an approach can help use less water, eliminating the needs for capital-heavy investment such as desalination projects or long water pipelines.
Such data can also help prevent leaks in water pipelines.
FORBES: IBM Launches iPhone App For Crowdsourcing Water Quality
Why not ditch desalination altogether for investment in Great Lakes-to-Southwest water transport pipelines parallel to the Keystone XL or other proposed corridors, repair of leaky existing infrastructure, or cargo shipping?
FORBES: Barack Obama's BRAIN Initiative Vs. Bioengineered Gills And One-Wheeled SegWays
That includes bridges and roads, drinking water and wastewater pipelines, levees, power lines, solid waste systems, and a host of other things.
FORBES: 2012 is the Year America Must Get Serious About its Infrastructure
Hurricane Katrina had turned Mars into a pile of steel spaghetti, dumped its 100-ton derrick under 3, 000 feet of water and mangled pipelines on the seafloor.
Could ocean water desalination end the fight over water rights to the Colorado River, eliminate the need for new canals and pipelines to bring water to southern California and even allow for the return of stretches of biologically damaged parts of the Sacramento River delta to healthy wetlands?
This will eventually form part of a water control system comprising at least four other dams and pipelines, controlling rainfall in the Lesotho mountains and supplying fresh water to South Africa.
Extra canals and pipelines will spread the water more widely.
Another key in the shallow water is that offshore LA there are existing pipelines to carry these new discoveries to market right away.
FORBES: A Little Bit Louder Now, Chevron Starts To Shout About Davy Jones And The Ultra Deep
Shell, Exxon and Chevron, which owned nearby service stations and pipelines, agreed to pay for fresh water.
He cleared land, built dams, planted out new strains of coffee bush and laid pipelines to drip feed the plants with water and fertiliser.
An ancient system of water rights means that many farmers pay only modest amounts to obtain their annual allocations from the Rio Grande, and poor pipelines and irrigation systems allow lots of water to leak out.
It also wants to build new pipelines in Kent and West Sussex to move water around the region.
Occurrences of flammable tap water, if not the result of existing gas transport pipelines, can be explained by totally unrelated gas leaks that occasionally occur around coal beds, which are far closer to the surface than natural gas deposits.
