Microclimate Loops and Small Dams Against the Mississippi Plan
The author argues against the Mississippi Water Plan, outlining macro and microclimate factors from solar radiation to topography. A proposed alternative starts with damming shallow arroyo streams in West Texas to curb erosion and modify local climate, with small dams managed by landowners, water districts, and counties.

Proposal for West Texas water plan with dams and land loans
A detailed plan proposes regional water districts build primary and secondary dams along West Texas rivers to conserve moisture and stabilize climate. Costs would be borne by landowners, with long term, tax exempt bonds for secondary dams and state financing for the largest structures. Vegetation removal and reforestation would create natural reservoirs, with expected climate and economic benefits within 10 to 20 years.
