Hi It seems to me that Brightwater is suitable for 'homebrew' testing, and indeed would greatly benefit from this work. Water bodies are very variable by salinity, choppiness, cloudiness, temperature, etc.
Is it possible to create a set of standard tests which can be conducted by people to test BW in their local area? A bucket filled with seawater in California may behave very differently to a bucket of seawater in Scotland. I would imagine that it would be possible to test the idea using a 2 gallon bucket, a bicycle or car tyre pump, clock, standard diffuser nozzle and a ruler with a coin taped to it (for checking cloudiness). A colour- comparison chart may also be useful. Sure, these would be very basic results, but they would be very helpful if (for example) we discovered that water near river mouths was better than water from open ocean shorelines. I'm guessing that all the equipment that wasn't available in an average home would be able to be bought and posted for likely a lot less than 50 dollars. I may be offending the sensibilities of those with big labs and high standards, but my guess is we could quickly gain some very useful data on this with the participation of some people on this list, and maybe beyond. Who knows, maybe this could become a very popular experiment in schools and colleges? A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
