I assume you're really pointing to this:
http://3r2n.cfa.cmu.edu/groundworks/background/statements/Octobe%%2019%%20PLATFORM%%20final%%20positi...
Which describes it a bit near the beginning. I assume you didn't read the
rest of that document, John, since you don't seem to have been killed by
an explosion of pure rage, as would surely have happened if you had!
I was thinking the other day that it would be nice to exhume some of the
lost rivers. Completely impractical, of course, but nice.
More plausibly, how about making the surface parts of the New River more
accessible? AFAIK, most of it's fenced off at the moment.
