How would it make any sense at all to pipe water from the Great Lakes to the SW when the west has the huge Columbia River that could send enough water south to literally flood the entire South West. As long as it comes from downstream of Bonniville Dam and they’re willing to pay the price–it might slow the Californication of the PNW.
Oh yeah, and we would gladly throw in about 300,000 sea lions–free.
Its crazy what a hundred miles can mean. Here in the Midlands of Central SC, we have had some serious rains and soggy ground with flooding rivers quite often. No drought down here Jim and I hope it stays that way.
