I like the idea of moving it as a slurry to upland farms. Erosion remediation: put the dirt back. Still going to be expensive and difficult; it's heavy and its gritty and corrosive and erosive. Pumping river water eats pumps.
- verdverm 4y agoHow does this compare to pumping crude?

- verdverm 4y agoCrude is not without corrosion, but I can imagine silty water would be much worse https://www.corrosionpedia.com/internal-corrosion-of-pipelines-carrying-crude-oil/2/7282 https://www.corrosionpedia.com/internal-corrosion-of-pipelin...
- verdverm 4y agoIt occurs to me that your username could imply some expertise in this :]
- h2odragon 4y agoIt could, but doesn't; I've been in the river south of Memphis once long ago and had some relevant experience but not expertise. All hail the Army Corps of Engineers guys who actually design and are responsible for understanding our efforts to modulate that river. I've just helped scratch at the dirt in accordance with their directions a couple times.
