in on the maintenance side, it's a killer. You have
heard about the sickness associated with plumes of
water. So if I get that water equipment close to
the embassy, I'm worried about bringing that in to
my intakes and doing my people in. So, the logical
approach from, shall we say a designer, is put it
out in the south forty somewhere on the ten acre
compound, and I've got all those problems in
addition to the pumping losses. I've got the
maintenance of the cooling towers. I have to shut
them down as soon as I found out that there is some
biocide problems. I've got issues on cleaning the
tubes. It goes down and down and down.
The issue that I think comes to mind
immediately on the quality of the water, because
you're pulling the physical, and I'm going back to
my Navy days, too on the steam boilers, et cetera.
Somewhere along the line, you've got to get rid of
all that crud that sits in your system. So you've
got a constantly blow down effect and you're
constantly throwing that water down the drain, as
well as evaporating in the sky. So anybody who has
driven around some of these buildings and seen white
plumes going in the sky, that's your water going in
the air.
