How To Reverse a River

The Chicago River is flowing backwards, rather than going downhill from inland Illinois into Lake Michigan instead it goes in the opposite direction. This isn’t some quirk of nature, but an engineering megaproject - indeed four engineering megaprojects - on a scale quite unlike anything else on Earth. So, what does it take to reverse a river?

I really wish they wouldn't call them "flushable wipes" I'm glad I don't have a smell-o-vision!
Is duck swimming in shitwater?
People are aware the reservoirs that nearly every major city on earth gets there water from are packed with animal poop, nasty diseases and microbes right? This is no different, it's perfectly clean H2O, people just have a silly hangup about it
5:45 is that a bill wurtz reference lol
I was going to watch this before you changed the video title and pic from the jar to this one.. was just getting around to it yknow
This is why you never kiss Australian girls on the mouth 👄🤮
Rick rolls loss as some sort of contaminant. Noice
First of all: if I did that IT WOULD work as a generator. Second of all: I'm not doing that. THIRD OF ALL: why stop at human microbiomes? Let's test arthropods, marine mammals, molluscs, monitor lizards. Transhumanism homie LET'S GO!!!!!!
Theyshould really do lessons like this in school. Even just as part of high school physics or chemical classes, it would make learning so much more “real”
Yo what's that clocktower with the angled hotel looking building adjacent to it called? I have a dreamscape that looks kinda like that, so it's be cool to reference a real-life equivalent. But in my dreamscape its next to a cliff as well like that vertical street in organ and there are flying carsa and zombies everywhere and crescent moon shaped bay, bordered by a sea of fog that leads to the deep ethereal.
Why does the soundtrack of this episode sound like that old Liberty Kids cartoon that DiC used to air on saturdays?
I was hoping you were going to use a giant broadspectrum laser to fake the shadows. Cos atmosphere. I just wanted to see a fake moon landing cos I'm bored...
0:28 - Our government here in the UK seems to have no qualms when it comes to pumping our water full of sh*t!
dude this video is a work of art
Ortholinear doesn't feel that small of an increase. But I reckon that could also just be that I'm still getting used to it so I'm forced to type slower until I get used to it. Actually it's probably because I'm using modifier keys to type my numbers/symbols. No moving up two rows.
Dude has serious 'Tom Scott hands' vibes
Admittedly, I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I am very confused as to why the intro was shot in Cambridge, Massachusetts😂
Lol, I had to scroll back 3 or 4 times to get the REAL point behind saying "medicine" twice. First time I thought "editing error", but I went back to check and only then noticed the screen was blurred too, so I went back a few more times and then it finally clicked. Geez. I'm slow today haha. 9:16 Missed opportunity to pronounce "AI" as "Aye" like a pirate.
I think the graph is upsidedown
Alphabetized. Clever. 😎👍
Damn, you got me with that Rick roll
Wonderful video. Feels like something I would watch in science class. Once again, well done! 🤩
Wow!
my first thought was "I'm not sure i want to know" but here we go
Since politicians don't produce anything, the government lowers the wealth.
7:00 So the pressurized filter also clears out chemical contaminents? I only recently heard people worried about hormonal contaminents from birth control pills for example, but if that step filters that out, then no issues. Right?
With Reverse osmosis they are not a problem, but not all water treatment plants use them (like in 5:55 Explained). Also some Hormons and chemicals are more a problem for the bacteria within the Aeration step.
Yea, keep talking while giving a sound demo, totally defeats the purpose of demoing the sound when all I can hear is your drawn out explanation...
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY! EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE A VIDEO LIKE THIS I'M REMINDED OF HOW GOOD MY COUNTRY IS! GOD BLESS AMERICA! I LOVE THIS PLACE! IT IS HOME TO THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD! AND HOW WE FIGHT ANY THING GOOD DEEMS UNWORTHY! AND THE OIL, OH THE OIL! SUCH A MAGNIFICENT AND BEAUTIFUL ELEMENT! IT TREATS US SOO WELL! I LIVE THIS COUNTRY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Saying "oil" and showing the American flag was the sickest burn
My dude, please clean the upper lip of your toilet. Whatever that stain is made of…it’s gross
Phenomenal work. I wonder if there's another dimension to learnability which looks at logical grouping of things such as open and closed brackets being near to eachother or in symmetrical positions? Not sure how you would encode such a principle though.
Nice video! But how often do the filters need to be changed?
When getting ready to do a PhD in Chem Eng at Curtin I was involved with a team looking at colloid mobilisation in the above mentioned aquifer. Lugged about 10 IBCs worth of the RO water from Beenup to Curtin on the back of my long suffering '98 Hilux ute for our experiments. The aquifer retention time I was told was 25 years.
i've never seen a video that makes me want to eat sand as much as this one
Well their new drinking water matches most of their people.
Internet, I present to you- the next Tom Scott!
2:39 Yo that marble is fucking gone...
When you filter the water so much it becomes too clean to drink. Now that is impressive
Perth Local here, I had no idea about this system and it's actually pretty cool, fells kinda weird watching you drink my used water though even if it is now perfectly clean 😅
Funny enough, I probably helped make those meat pies and can confirm their quality is that of actual shit lmao
Is “plastic toys” code for condom 😂😂😂😂
Not only does my shit go here, but I drink this water, and I drive past it everyday and didn't know about it.
@4:49 Missed opportunity for "Jurassic Fart".
As an environmental engineering student from "third world" country, that ultra filtration is a dream for us because it costs a lot of money
How long does one of these Ultra filters last? And - guess what they do on ISS!
how this channel made me click the video only to comment; how this video made me click the don't recommend channel button.
I'm so amazed by how many memes you sneaked in while being informative
I think my city shozld rather than dump the treeted waste warer into the river, use it for irigation.
I really enjoyed your graphics!
It is terrible that if you told this to any other country, people would be absurdly grossed out at the idea that a "the water treatment getting fucked a single day would mean poop in the tap water and a day ruined", leading to people ONLY consuming bottled water, which makes things much worse.
nah
