If the article is correct at 110,000 acres to be developed, here is some fast facts.
110,000 acres/160 acres = 687 pivots
average pivot uses 750 gallons per minutes (gpm)
687 x 750gpm x 60 x 24 = 742,000,000 gallons per day.
When I worked at ipsco, they used 1,000,000 gallons of water per day.
The potash mine at belle plaine probably uses 2-3 million gallons per day (not sure)
Now, who do you think should pay for the project?
