Army Engineers have failed to take into account all possible adjustments which might be made to the Missouri Basin. Maass concluded, and "their surveys of the problem are devoted almost exclusively to engineering works for flood protection because they, like so many engineers, just like to pour concrete...

Investors liked the Nipper not because it was a railroad, but because it owns or has mineral rights on 3,200,000 acres of land in Williston Basin, the nation's richest new oilfield.

When fresh water is forced into the wells, it will form a dike of saturated gravel that will keep the sea water from entering the pumped-out basin. Gierlich hopes that the basin will eventually be filled to above sea level by the natural seepage of mountain water. Then the sea will no longer try to invade it. The industries and the people who depend on west basin water will never be able...
