I had to click through to the SWIFT site to read more, but it looks like an interesting project. I don't know about the NN/HR water supply circumstances, but I could see it being useful in other areas to ensure treated waste water is fed back into groundwater systems instead to running off into the ocean.
I've lived in San Antonio and east of Colorado Springs and had my water supply fed from aquifers that always seemed on the brink of drying up. Colorado Springs was an odd one in that some locations were fed from the mountains and some from aquifer. The mountain reservoirs were always on the brink of drying up, as well. This seems like it would be an option to keep those sources better "charged" to borrow a power grid term.

Whenever we perform projects on such a grand scale much more must be anticipated for. Everything from what will happen from the existing water quality from the area water is being taken from, to what happens if the treatment system goes down with the water quality in the area it's being piped to, to designated floodway areas in both areas. That's why I would love to review the Environmental Impact Statement.

SFC (Join to see) - Of course. It's a very complex undertaking. There are bound to be some issues. Hopefully they have ways to solve those problems and keep moving forward. It's an issue I know that we don't need to address where I am now, but it would provide a much larger benefit to areas where I've lived in the past. I can see the benefits outweighing the problems.
