We have the Pecos River flowing through the basin. Only problem is, the
people between us and the Rocky Mountains use so much of the water that by
the time it reaches the basin the river has become a small stream.

This is desert too, either sandridge (Strzelecki Desert) or stony desert
(Sturt's Stony Desert) but running through the middle is Cooper's Creek,
fed by monsoonal rains in QUeensland and normally ending up in vast
floodouts in the middle of the desert (every three-four years)

We have less challanging environmental problems. Our problem is that
most of the easy oil and gas is gone. There's far more left than has
been harvested over the last hundred years, but the required technology
to get it has just been developed. That, along with new 3-D sismographic
software, coupled with a hundred years of logging data, has reduced the
risk greatly.
I can't see water (desert area) unless I go at least 300 miles from home.

Yes, except the oil is washed up into the Triassic/JUrassic sandstones by
the Great Artesian Basin hot water (!) Most gas stays in the Permian.
Disgusting water quality, one of my headaches. Holes crumble in the coal,
that's the engineers' problem...
Also, COoper Basin is very dispersed--small oil targets, widely spread.
I'm running my little leggies off doing the environmental for most of
thje smaller companies. And it's mostly in a Park. Not to mention
Ramsar treaty wetlands of international importance. At least I see
water and can go for a canoe if there's time (not...) No sailable water
though. Must visti Burke & Wills graves instead of driving past all the
time...

I live in the Permian Basin. The oil boom is working everyone here
hard. I assume your going through the same?

Now *that* was funny.
Glad you dropped in for a moment, Taddy. Come back when you have more
time!
TIme isn't going to happen till next year, Feb. I appear condemned to
spend the height of summer commuting to the deserts... it's make money
while the oil boom is on. lady Kate hates me.
