I agree, our liberals found a simple and cheap solution years ago...WTG Memphis.

Define cheap. It looked like a bunch of plastic plugs tied together. Then was washed away, so it wasn't very stable. Maybe Memphis should look towards not only quality solutions, but also quality politicians.

900k

all they had to do was track down the parts that washed away and reconnect them.

the other "solutions" were WAY more expensive.

It was simple, too simple, and it was real cheap, but it was steep in cost.

there is more than one place where Memphis streams and rivers flow into the Mississippi...they set up several of those where they do...the whole project cost 900k

and it's works...It may even be back up and running.

That is irrelevant to what I said.....remember when you posted this in this very thread?

No one knows what you are talking about. You are completely alone.

All the cities on there are liberal controlled, lol... New York being top on the list.

wait you guys have the worst flooding in 100 years all the time?

that happened here in 2011...that issue is now solved.

I see no trash there in 2014:

It's cool man, I don't blame the flooding anyways. The problem is that dirty liberals flock to liberal controlled places because they don't fit in anywhere else and don't know how to blend in, and the town becomes a nasty dirty town.

I don't think myself or anyone could even figure out what statements you are talking about.

What are your thoughts on the amount of trash in this city? We can't blame it on flooding. What other natural disaster might have caused this?

It's more than just paper on the streets. The city is dirty.

One is of a lake and one is of a pile of trash from anywhere.

get a better side by side. I am not arguing that people didn't clean it up, but why did it get like that to begin with?

I'm not going down to the Allen Coal Plant to take photos for you...

the 2011 Mississippi flood (the largest in almost a century) caused massive flooding and put a lot of trash in mckellar lake.

I can't believe you're now calling the picture in the OP fake, lol, it's not...I wish it was...but the city, working with local volunteers, solved that issue.

Lol. no it doesn't. It might grab the empty plastic grocery bags, the fast food trash and beer cans as stuff, but do you any idea how much schit (literally) can leech out of stuff like that if it's simply "contained" downstream and fished out with a backhoe or whatever? Run off and non-point pollution are two of the hugest (is that a word?) pollution problems out there. Just corralling it all up and out of sight out of mind is not addressing the real issue in the least.

This is a band-aid approach and very environmentally unfriendly to say the least. all the bad schit is still left in the water. Hell, read your own article.

Quote:The great Mississippi River flood of 2011, cresting south of Memphis today, carries a mix of fertilizer, oil, pesticides, trash and farm runoff as it flows toward the Gulf of Mexico, say public health officials.

Some of it is nasty stuff, and officials say people are wise to be careful. They urge people not to touch the water unless they're wearing rubber boots and gloves, and wash thoroughly if they get wet.

"There could be a lot of untreated sewage coming downstream," said Wilma Subra, an environmental scientist and activist in Louisiana who has tangled with oil and chemical companies. "People need to be aware."

Ick.
