I have said this for years. We as a country are great at building pipelines, so why not build a water pipeline from the head of the Mississippi to the head of the Colorado river. The mississippi floods all the time. If removing the water that floods saves million to the insurance companies and federal government, the pipeline will pay for itself in no time at all.
Grads don't tell me about all the environmental impact stuff. Just get it done.
I'm with you, been saying this for years. Hell, with the technology the US has, it should be a piece of cake to divert water from other parts of the country via a pipeline or series of canals......
