The home has a 10,000-square-foot main house, a large adjoining house and massive river frontage, which reportedly required them to take a helicopter to see it.
Prior to the start of heavy rains late last year, a drought had gone on for more than a decade across the Murray-Darling basin, a massive irrigated river system in eastern Australia that is the country's most important agricultural area.
India is set to start work on a massive, unprecedented river diversion programme, which will channel water away from the north and west of the country to drought-prone areas in the east and south.
The heat would have contributed to more rainfall in the north, resulting in massive river runoff that capped the Arctic Ocean with a layer of fresh water.
The massive river energy flux to the Arctic Ocean carries an enormous heating power of 1.0 × 1019 J/year for each 1 °C of the warm river waters above freezing, which is equivalent to the power release from detonation of 2.5 × 109 TNT/°C/year (Nghiem et al. 2014).
Within two weeks, this massive river, one of the largest natural riparian ecosystems in Europe, had been destroyed.
This is the view that cannot be seen from sanitized satellite photos and composite maps depicting the direction and extent of the massive river of oil threatening entire ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico.
Concentrations of these elements were significantly lower at the downstream Emory and Clinch River sites but were above background concentrations, suggesting that leaching of these toxicants was balanced by massive river dilution.
Critics might dispute whether all are worth pursuing, such as a proposal for massive river-linking projects to divert fresh water to drought-prone areas, or a hugely expensive plan for high-speed trains (fixing low-speed ones is a greater priority).
Massive rivers of digital information are a snooze, visually.
