Basika izintambo, bathela i-silicone futhi bakhulula amabhawodi — konke lokhu ukuze bagcine ama-rain gauge kahulumeni engenalutho ohlelweni lokwenza imali. Manje, abalimi ababili baseColorado bakweleta izigidi zamaRandi ngokukhohlisa.
UPatrick Esch no-Edward Dean Jagers II bavumile icala ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule ngecala lokwakha uzungu lokulimaza impahla kahulumeni, bevuma ukuthi bavimbe imvula ukuthi ingangeni ezilinganisweni zemvula ukuze benze izicelo zomshuwalense wezitshalo zomthetho kahulumeni ezingamanga. Bamangalelwa enkantolo yobugebengu neyezomphakathi.

Ngaphansi kwesicelo sobugebengu, u-Esch wayala ukuba akhokhe u-$2,094,441 njengesinxephezelo kanti uJagers wayala ukuba akhokhe u-$1,036,625. Lezo zimali sezikhokhiwe, kusho okhulumela ihhovisi lesifunda sommeli waseColorado uMelissa Brandon etshela i-Washington Post ngoMsombuluko.
Isivumelwano somphakathi esivela kumuntu obika ngecala sidinga ukuthi u-Esch akhokhe imali eyengeziwe engu-$3 million — engu-$676,871.74 okuyimali yokubuyiselwa, ngokwerekhodi ngalinye lenkantolo — kanye nenzalo engu-3% ezinyangeni ezingu-12 ezizayo, kusho uBrandon. UJagers ukhokhe imali yakhe eyengeziwe engu-$500,000 edingekayo.
Sekukonke, uhlelo lomshuwalense lubize amadoda cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-6.5 ngaphambi kwezindleko zomthetho.
Ukuvikelwa emvuleni engavamile kungenye yezinhlobo eziningi zomshuwalense wezolimo ezinikezwa uMnyango Wezolimo wase-US. Uhlelo lomshuwalense wezitshalo lukahulumeni lukhokhele izinkampani zomshuwalense u-$18 billion ngezicelo zokulahlekelwa ngo-2022, ngokusho kwesabelomali sohlelo salowo nyaka.
Umshwalense wezitshalo kazwelonke uvame ukuthengiswa yizinkampani zomshuwalense ezizimele eziqinisekisa ngqo abahlinzeki kanye nezitshalo zabo, bese izinhlangano zikahulumeni zibuyisela imali kubashuwalense abazimele.
Ngohlelo lomshuwalense wemvula u-Esch noJagers abavumile ukuthi badlala imidlalo, uhulumeni ulandela inani lemvula esebenzisa ama-rain gauge kahulumeni. Inani lemali yomshuwalense ekhokhiwe linqunywa ngokuqhathanisa amazinga emvula yesikhathi esithile nesilinganiso sesikhathi eside sendawo, ngokusho kwemibhalo yenkantolo.
“Abalimi nabafuyi abasebenza kanzima bathembele ezinhlelweni zomshuwalense wezitshalo ze-USDA, futhi ngeke sivumele lezi zinhlelo zisetshenziswe kabi,” kubhala uMmeli wase-US ohlala eColorado uCole Finegan esimemezelweni sesivumelwano sokuvuma.
Abashushisi babhale ukuthi lolu hlelo lwaqala cishe ngoJulayi 2016 kuya kuJuni 2017 futhi lwalugxile eningizimu-mpumalanga yeColorado nasentshonalanga yeKansas.
Ukutholakala kokuqala kwenkinga kwenziwa yisisebenzi se-United States Geological Survey ngoJanuwari 1, 2017, kusho abashushisi. Lesi sisebenzi sathola ukuthi izintambo zikagesi zazisikiwe kugeji eSyracuse, eKan. Abashushisi babalule izimo ezingu-14 lapho abasebenzi bathola khona amageji emvula ayephazanyisiwe.
Isizini yemvula, ungaphuli umthetho ukuze unciphise ingcindezi yezomnotho, singakunikeza isilinganiso semvula esingabizi kakhulu ongasisebenzisa
