Water Wars ? facts and fiction.

With the world always needing more water, the Idea of water wars is not far fetched. Everytime more farm land is made into subdivisions and shopping malls, the burden of producing more food crops is on more and more producing farmers. To produce more crops requires more water, simple math. Do the research, many states get there water from other states. In many cases, water rights deals were made in some cases before some states were even states in the 1800s.
 One nightmare scenario is — a global scarcity of vital resources and the onset of extreme climate change propaganda— are already beginning to converge and in the coming decades are likely to produce a tidal wave of unrest, rebellion, competition, and  hot conflict.  Just what will this tsunami of disaster look like, but experts warn of “water wars” over contested river systems, global food riots sparked by soaring prices for life’s basics, mass migrations of climate refugees (with resulting anti-migrant violence), and the breakdown of social order or the collapse of states.  At first, such mayhem is likely to arise largely in Africa, Central Asia, and other areas of the underdeveloped South, but in time all regions of the planet will be affected.

No one can predict how much food, land, water, and energy will be lost as a result of this onslaught new world order,but the cumulative effect will undoubtedly be staggering.  In Resources Futures, Chatham House offers a particularly dire warning when it comes to the threat of diminished precipitation to rain-fed agriculture.  “By 2020,” the report says, “yields from rain-fed agriculture could be reduced by up to 50%” in some areas.

 The highest rates of loss are expected to be in Africa, where reliance on rain-fed farming is greatest, but agriculture in China, India, Pakistan, and Central Asia is also likely to be severely affected.
Heat waves, droughts, and other effects of drought will also reduce the flow of many vital rivers, diminishing water supplies for irrigation, hydro-electricity power facilities, and nuclear reactors (which need massive amounts of water for cooling purposes). 
  An expected increase in the frequency of hurricanes and typhoons during drought cycles will pose a growing threat to offshore oil rigs, coastal refineries, transmission lines, and other components of the global energy system.

Keep your water rights, they may be worth more than mineral rights one day soon.

DIY drilling water well for country acres on family farm

With Everyone needing water and more of it. Drilling your own water well is important. If you have 10,000.00 or more, just call a drilling contractor in the phone book. Other people who are struggling and make low wages or just people who are financially strapped have to find different ways to get water on there little ranchette or country lot. Drilling rig rental is one option, but you may not have a drilling rig for rent in your area. Buying a cheap craigslist toy drilling rig is a another option, but if your water is deeper than 100ft or if you have hard rock, the toy hydra turd drill will not work. Pray you have no hard rock. Rock can be drilled, but not without larger more pricey drilling equipment. Some people get many in the area where need water and buy a used or new water well drilling rig and pool there money together to do this. Some places even offer free hands on drill training for customers who buy from therm. The drill training is worth more than the drill rig. Training makes the difference between success and failure.
There are some videos showing people drilling with PVC and a water pump, this only works in soft beach like sand and if water is shallow. If you have hard dirt or hard clay, this trick will not work.
Some plans are available for building drilling rigs, and Drillcat.com offer parts for sale. If you have any ideas to help others, let me know, would be glad to share it with others.





Deeprock M-60 Water well drilling rig does the job

With many years in the water well business, and seeing many kinds and sizes of drilling rig, the Deeprock M-60 Drilling rig is still the best in small micro drills. Most people think of small drilling rigs being like toy ebay china junk heaps. Some toy drill rigs are junk, Make sure you get a real Swivel and real drill pipe, then you will have a real drilling rig.
The Deeprock M-60 does have the heat treated Tool joint CA-21 pipe connections. Ca-21 drill pipe is head and shoulders over standard small china plumbing pipe. The CA-21 threads connect and disconnect fast and easy, with n cross threading. Once the well is drilled, the main thing is get drill pipe tripped out of hole fast and get well casing & screen in before well walls cave in. The fast connect CA-21 lets you do this. Although the M-60 is rated for 300ft or less, most water can be found shallow anyway. The best swivel for the Deeprock M-60 is the xp-7 with chevron seals for the ability for drilling air or rotary mud. Many people in remote country areas with 5 to 20 acres need water, and the Deeprock M-60 is great for this. With some farms and country getaways with small narrow drive ways, the Trailer mounted M-60  can be towed with 4x4 truck, 4x4 atv and even small ford or john Deere tractor. Many people ask, how will a small drill like this drill in my area?
 The main thing is match the right Drill bit for the right formation. Roller cone rock bits work good in rock, but very slow in gummy clay. Carbide step drag bits work good in sand and clay and light plates of rock, but in heavy hard rock the drag bit will get violent and get rough on the drive head. Always match the right bit. if you have questions on this contact www.drillcat.com for more details.
