[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzQwMjc5OTI1XzRCRTBFRTQ2] Colorado’s richest oil field buried in flood waters, 1,000s of wells and sites affected — Official: “Scale is unprecedented… We will have to deal with environmental contamination” — Chemist: “It’s new territory” — Scientist: “Major public health risks” from contaminated water, sediment (PHOTOS) http://enenews.com/colorados-richest-oil-field-buried-in-flood-waters-official-scale-is-unprecedented-we-will-have-to-deal-with-environmental-contamination-chemist-its-new-territory-scientist Denver Post, Sept. 16, 2013 (h/t Anonymous tip): Colorado’s richest oil field — the Denver-Julesburg Basin — is buried in flood waters raising operational and environmental concerns [...] Thousands of wells and operating sites have been impacted [...] “The scale is unprecedented,” said Mike King, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. “We will have to deal with environmental contamination from whatever source.” The basin, one of the most promising onshore oil plays [...] The major public health risks will come from contaminated water and sediments, said Miriam Rotkin-Ellman, a Natural Resources Defense Council staff scientist. [...] There are more than 20,000 wells in the DJ-Basin and surrounding areas and 3,200 permits for open pits in Weld County, according to state data. [...] .................... I believe this phenomenon will affect more nuclear plants, as we observed at Ft. Calhoun. http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2013/07/25/Rivers-of-moisture-flowing-high-in-atmosphere-blamed-for-severe-floods/UPI-52621374792395/ Atmospheric "rivers" of moisture flowing above the oceans have caused heavy rainfall and flooding in places such as California and Britain, researchers say. These "rivers," unknown just 20 years ago, could become more common -- and more severe -- as global temperatures rise, they said. Atmospheric rivers are up to 180 miles wide and can be as long as 1,200 miles, flowing invisibly more than a mile above the surface of the ocean. One such atmospheric river is believed to have been behind the violent flooding that hit Cumbria in Britain in 2009, scientists said. [i] They calculated at its peak it was transporting almost 300,000 tons of moisture every second; by comparison, the River Thames carries about 65 tons of water through London in the same amount of time.[/i] [/quote]
