Has anyone ever given any thought to trying to capture all the floodwaters that seem to be increasing lately, and moving them to the more drought affected areas?

    How much water would a super collider tunnel hold?

      The Large Hadron Collider is 27.4 km in circumference and the tunnel is 3.8 metres wide.

      So roughly 27400m x 11.34m^2= 310,716m^3

      An Olympic sized swimming pool is 2,500 m^3 so it would be just under 125 of those.

          The Mississippi River average flow rate is 21,749.5 m3/s so that’s like fourteen seconds of flow.

          Fourteen seconds is also my record for sex.

            Usually takes me a couple minutes but maybe thats just age. Any amount that a flood could be reduced would doubtless be appreciated

              The phrase ‘a drop in the bucket’ refers to a very small or unimportant amount.

          From a multinational consortium standpoint, that’s small enough to ignore.
