[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 50672, member: 816"] been pondering this for a few years since the big drought infiltrated the SW. but, has anyone ever heard of or had any discussions regarding the possibility of piping water from the great lakes or the pacific NW to other parts of the country. i know it wouldn't be an easy or cheap endeavor. but, the amount of freshwater in those lakes and in the NW is almost incomprehensible. given the role water plays in our survival and even the economic security of this country, i think a good argument could be made that it would be money well spent. maybe get great lakes water to the great plains and Pacific NW water to california? costs would likely be in the hundreds of billions initially and probably tens of millions each year to pump it uphill in various places. but, it doesn't seem completely out of the question in my mind. we pump oil all over the place. just for discussions sake... thoughts?
