this might be a excellent reason to build the major water pipeline they talked about a few years ago.
they were discussing taking the winter flood waters from the upper midwest, and pipe-lining it down to the farming country above the Oolagalla reservoir, to recharge the groundwater in winter, and water plants in summer.
It would make some sense to have a saltwater pipeline to the upper midwest, to raise the seaweed in, and then use as a fertilizer and nutrient additive, rather than trucking it in. Turns out, a little bit of seawater is a great way to renew the nutrients that are leached from the soil.
"All SeaAgri products are produced from the Sea of Cortez containing 92 minerals and trace elements, plus more than 50,000 organic compounds. Scientific data shows that SEA-90’s minerals and trace elements stimulate, feed and enhance micro flora populations in soil, and as little as one ounce of SEA-90 Essential Elements provide nearly complete mineral nutrition."
