Environmentally safe hydro-electric pipeline and water delivery system

Abstract

“The Environmentally Safe Hydro-Electric Pipeline And Water Delivery System” will provide over one million gallons of fresh water per day to areas and communities in desperate need of clean fresh water. This will be accomplished with a very small environmental footprint. This pipeline will be self powered by use of gravity and siphon principals. There will be enough flow and water pressure left over to power many water turbine electric generators, which may be located anywhere along the pipeline, where the power can be sold.

1 . The water collection system, as outlined in component one through three of the description of this system, will provide the least invasive method ever used of collecting vast amounts of water from a large body of water, which is divided into small collection sites and strategically located in the large body of water as to provide the least impact on fish habitat, ecological balance, and the overall environment. 
     
     
         2 . The Water Commencement System will start the massive flow of water with only a one time use of power, enough power to pump water enough to fill the pipeline from the surface of the lake to the first restrictor valve. 
     
     
         3 . The general route of the system will always start with a large body of water at an elevation as high above sea level as possible, in this case 2,300 feet above sea level, this drop to sea level will create an enormous amount of energy, to be harnessed to move the water through the pipe and to power hydroelectric generators. 
     
     
         4 . This system will transport a vast amount of water hundreds of miles using only the proven principal of gravity and siphon, along with enough additional energy to power many hydro-electric generators. 
     
     
         5 . The entire project can be built and placed into operation, with all evidence of the project completely removed from view, returning the views surrounding the body of water pre-project quality. 
     
     
         6 . The route of the pipeline which is located off shore along the Oregon and California coast will act as an erosion barrier and a reef.
