Around here In the Permian Basin we have salt scalds, I have two on my place. They’re caused when a well blows out and floods the surface with salt water. The oldest one is 70 years old and still nothing will seed out in it.

That puts you around west Texas or eastern New Mexico. How much rainfall (compared to Florida) and how good is the drainage?

Yep right in the middle of the Permian Basin. Rain is hit or miss, in the last two years I’ve caught less than 15 inches about 5 years ago I caught over 40 inches. On the average I’ll get 14 to 16 inches per year. I’d rather have an oil spill than a saltwater spill, oil does far less damage.
