Since we moved back to Cedar City, water has been a them in many of my discussions and activities. Well before we moved to Cedar City I became involved in the Central Iron County Water Conservancy District<\/a>: log of activities<\/a>; 19 September 2005 Presentation<\/a>; 04 May 2006 Presentation<\/a>; 06 June 2006 Presentation<\/a>; data<\/a> to recommend MX-Missile water, rather than Lake Powell<\/a> Water; \u00a0Keynote Talk at SUU Annual Research Symposium<\/a> 18 November 2013; Field Trip Notes<\/a> 18 November 2013; SUU Talk for CICWCD<\/a> 22 September 2014; Presentation to Iron County Commissioners<\/a> on 11 July 2016; Presentation to Rotary<\/a>, 06 September 2016; Presentation to Iron County Historical Society<\/a> 08 March 2017; videos of Joseph Armstrong water witching<\/a> 17 July 2017; etc. This song is about water, within the bounds of the last words of the 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> lines of each of the 7 verses being \u201cscum\u201d and \u201csun\u201d respectively. It ties in Joseph Smith\u2019s question: \u201cHow long can rolling waters remain impure.\u201d It talks about the danger of falling water, and about the beauty water reflects of nature. It talks about how too many forget their baptismal covenants and asks \u201cHow long can clean waters remain pure?\u201d It points out how rain water washes away the trash, and how rising water warns us to move, especially when fast water floods the earth. Note this song was written on the 2nd<\/sup> of December 2014, shortly after we had moved from Houston. I had felt there was going to be major problems in Houston, which was part of my willingness to move to Utah (Song 362 \u2013 The Move<\/a>). Note there were 500-year floods in Houston at Memorial Day in both 2015 and in 2016, and then the enormous devastation of Hurricane Harvey 25 August 2017. Note a 500-year flood is not something that happens once in 500 years. Rather it is an event that has a 1-in-500 chance of occurring in any given year. I was very glad we were not in Houston during and following Harvey. I had thought the problems would be riots and social unrest. I feel very sorry for my friends and colleagues in Houston who struggled with impure waters.<\/p>\n
