Where is your BS detector. Most of the worlds fresh water is ground
water. Of the rest, most is ice. They teach that stuff in the
undemanding Geology 101, " Rocks For Jocks ". Where English majors go
to get an A in a science course.

I only scored a B in that class. Long story involving Miss Chicago,
the local Greek community, etc. Should have been an A.

Care to wager? For what it's worth, I didn't ever say anything to the
affect that "most" of the worlds fresh water did anything. I said 20%
of the world's fresh water goes over the falls.

You are full of it. Twenty percent of the river water in North America
is a far cry from the world's anything. Seen any icebergs go over the
falls? Big slabs of water soaked sandstone perhaps? That is where the
fresh water is, not in that or any other river. As for the actual flow
over the falls, it isn't what it used to be. Lots of water goes
through turbines instead. Sooner or later, all the water will go for
hydro power, and the falls will be dry.

And you believe that. 98% of the worlds fresh water is either ground
water or ice, and none of it goes over the falls. Twenty percent of
the river water in North America goes over the falls, but so what?

Hey, Harry, about those alleged technical papers you wrote about
structures....
I'd love to have a discussion with you about that, are you up to it?
Let's start with the easy stuff. When you were analyzing the seismic
forces on the structure, what was the fast period and slow period
spectral response coefficients? What were the shear wall components?
And did you use the mapped spectral response, or the analyzed spectral
response?

That's not what it says. It says 20% of the world's fresh water lies
in the Great Lakes and most of it flows over Niagara Falls
