NAWAPA Overview

True Water Management

Due to its specific topographical shape, and ocean air currents, a quarter of all the rain or snow that hits the ground in North America each year falls in a narrow corridor of the continent, with 800 MAFY(million acre feet per year) running directly into the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, unused by the biosphere on land, and wasted. Meanwhile, a large swath of the western half of continent remains dry, and barren.

NAWAPA will remedy this presently inefficient distribution of precipitation: utilizing 20% of this runoff, 160 MAFY, strategically placed dams and tunnels will create a collection system of major new reservoirs and canals, taking advantage of the natural topography of the Rocky Mountain Chain, and effecting a distribution of water to parched lands and strategic water ways. Through 22 MAFY to the Canadian Prairie Provinces, 69 MAFY to US states, and 21 MAFY for Northern Mexico, 86,000 square miles will be irrigated, doubling the current irrigable acreage west of the Mississippi, and replacing the increasingly inefficient and limited sources of well water with a permanent source from gravity flow, relieving agriculture of pumping costs and restoring its productivity.

It is a known fact, that 40% of precipitation over continents (Category A) returns directly as runoff or groundwater discharge to oceans, while 60% percent of precipitation over continents (Category B) re-evaporates, and falls back onto land, recycling itself roughly 2.7 times over land before returning to oceans. By building NAWAPA, the 160 MAFY of normal Category A precipitation will be brought into participation with Category B, being used not once, but multiple times as it recycles as rainfall across the continent, before exiting the system, with a rate and duration capable of further extension through plant and soil evapotranspiration, and other biospheric engineering techniques.

Rail Lines

For an efficient construction of NAWAPA and an efficient use of the northern regions:

• Various Union Pacific, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, and Candian Pacific rail lines from the Midwest into Idaho and the Rocky Mountain Trench area, will need immediate double and triple tracking.

• The Alaskan-Canadian rail system must finally be completed, with two routes of double tracked line connecting Prince George to Fairbanks and Dawson Creek to Fairbanks for a total of 2200 miles of track.

• 975 miles of double track to connect Fairbanks, Alaska with Egvekinot, Chukotka, including a 60-mile long tunnel and/or bridge crossing the Bering Strait.

Canadian-Great Lakes Revolution

On par with the revolutionary transformation brought about by the Eerie Canal, which opened the Midwest to commerce and made NYC a metropolis, NAWAPA's Barge canals connecting Lake Superior to the Pacific, and Hudson Bay, Georgian Bay, the ore fields of Labrador, and Quebec to the Great Lakes, will turn once inefficient or impossible resource deposits into easily accessible regions of development, leading to an explosion of new mining, processing, industrial and research potentials all along its banks, like the once great, industrial corridor of the Mississippi.

Industrial Bill of Materials and Processes

Constructing NAWAPA's dams, canals, reservoirs, aqueducts, tunnels, will involve, at the least:

• Hundreds of millions of sacks of cement, nearly 100 million tons of steel, tens of millions of tons of copper and aluminum, and a vast array of new machinery required to construct the project and move approximately 32 billion cubic yards of earth.

• Drilling 50 tunnels with a total distance of over 1000 miles displacing 860 cubic yards of rock, employing and an unprecedented use of tunnel boring machines, and possibly new techniques.

• An undefined quantity of orders for the production of heavy electrical equipment, involved in; a) power generation stations, including forebay, penstocks, head gates, turbine wheels, generating units, switchgear and, b) pumping stations, including large motors, large capacity pumps, valving, fittings, intake & discharge headers.

Hemispheric and Planetary Re-organization

NAWAPA's approach signifies a change in the organization of the planet as a whole, and its application will set off a pattern of sovereign nation states acting as sovereign nation-states, utilizing the full compass of their own territories for the scientific benefit and increasing power of their citizens. The increase of the infrastructural density and land management techniques will lead to a guaranteed increase in the productive powers of labor, per unit of relevant territory, and in greater rates than ever before, for every continent where the principle is applied.

Scientific Advancements

Along with its planetary effects as a continental water management system, NAWAPA is a science driver in the true sense of the term:

• The accomplishment of implementing a reservoir management system of its scale, over one continuous, active corridor of scientific coordination, will lead to unpredictable, but guaranteed qualitative effects in overall technological and scientific management.

• The creation of 50 large tunnels, totaling 1000 miles, typify the great advancements to be made in geological mapping, as well as fundamental discoveries in the understanding of life's creation of the earth's crust, and the nature of its useful biogenic ores.

• Creating a permanent presence of civilization in the northern regions will transform our current scientific perspective of the arctic from isolated research stations in remote and dangerous conditions into an active scientific capability. With the Arctic's unique proximity to the singular electromagnetic conditions of the Polar Regions, the complex of electromagnetic relationships, which define the Earth-Sun-Solar System magnetic interactions and have determined the evolutionary processes of the biosphere, will finally be integrated into the power of man's understanding and economy.

• With a restored, non-crisis management approach to the hydrological cycle, new breakthroughs will be made in the biospheric engineering of climate, plant life, ground water, and soils.

• Through the close management of NAWAPA's 240 reservoirs, not only will the continent's production of fish and aquatic protein multiply several fold, but new frontiers will be breached in reservoir science and water treatment methods, mastering the use and engineering of micro-organisms, fish, and plant control.

In accomplishing NAWAPA, man will be poised to begin mastering and making use of the integrated relationships which define life on Earth, and participate in creating its continued evolution, rather than being subject to the whims of nature and local conditions.
