“Estimates for the mass of material that falls on Earth each year range from 37,000-78,000 tons. Most of this mass would come from dust-sized particles.”
That material does not include the Snow Comets as I understand it.
As we speed along we will run into many things or they will run in to us.
Speed We Are Moving Through Space

Rotation of the Earth 1,000 Miles Per Hour

Revolution around the Sun 67,000 Miles Per Hour

Solar System Revolution around the Milky Way 486,000 Miles Per Hour

Movement around the Milky Way per day 11,664,000 Miles Per Day

Movement around the Milky Way per year 4,257,360,000 Miles Per Year

Movement around the Milky Way in the past 11,000 years 46,830,960,000,000

As we speed in the wrong direction of other stars in the Milky Way who knows what we will run into as we are in a place that another galaxy is being eaten by the Milky Way.

It would appear that Cornell doesn't agree with your claim of 16 million tons a year of snow comets either.

Again, if this much comets exist in the solar system, where is the water on the moon and Mars?

Water on the Moon:

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/14apr_moonwater.htm

However, since it has only a tiny fraction of Earth’s gravity, most of the Moon’s water supply should have evaporated and drifted off into space long ago. Most, but perhaps not all.

Water on Mars:

However, there should be no liquid water on the surface, (for a great length of time in the present situation. However mars is in a global warming mode at this time so who knows what will happen when it gets warmer.), due to extreme cold and or not enough atmospheric pressure to keep any liquid water from drifting back into space.

But you claim this is a near continuous occurring events.

Making it more ridiculous is the manned and unmanned exploration and never observing a single one. The moon and Mars have been under observation for decades without this occurring.

The same idiots don’t mention that without the dams there would be no power and the people would just watch the streams dry up as they carry their buckets back and forth to the muddy creek.

They can’t make it rain.

“Instead of putting it back into the Chattahoochee River, why don’t they just route it back through Atlanta or Montgomery or Mobile or Tallahassee or whatever?”
