The wrong way to pump flood water in New Orleans...


Recommended Posts

Many pictures on the news show the discharge ends of the pump pipes at 10 -if not more- feet above the surface.

The brutal flow reduction and increased amount of fuel makes no sense. And that pumping operation is conducted by "experts" ?

 

The discharge ends should be as close as possible to water level to be efficient, probably doubling flow. SHAME ! -The land of waste- :mad:

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw the pictures on the news! The amount of water dropping from that height also seems like it would further undermine the levies.
