Building and maintaining such a pipeline would provide long term jobs for thousand of people, save millions in livestock, crop and property loss, not to mention human suffering.
The state climatologist for Texas says the record drought of 2011 could be only the beginning of a dry spell that could last until 2020. What if this drought affects the entire Southwest and Western US?
There is an urgent need to conduct water from states suffering flooding from too much rain or snow melt to provide water to states suffering drought causing losses of entire farms, crops, and farm animals and to provide jobs to build these pipelines.
We could develop a network of interstate high-volume water pipe-lines, so water could be transmitted from areas that have too much (recently the Northeast) to areas of drought. They could be installed with relatively little disruption by flowing the right-of-ways of various Interstate Highways and/or rail lines.
Since water is non-toxic, occasional small leaks would not damage the environment. To install the system would create much-needed jobs in the US. The system could be built gradually over years to spread out the cost and job-supply. Pipe-line flow could be reversed if climate changes dictate.

Sounds better than a lot of what the administration has provided funds for to date. We could use the jobs. Especially ones that will last for a long time
I wondered why we haven't done this already. We can move oil across 800 miles in Alaska but we can't move flood waters from the Mississippi river to Texas?
I just did the math. A 10 ft diameter pipe pumping water at 4 mph could move 300 million gallons per day, enough to fill a lake one mile square and 15 feet deep in about ten days. I say go for it. would go a long way towards keeping flood waters from rising up north also. Homeowners up north would love it and the National Flood Insurance program would probably benefit as NOAA estimates $5-10 billion a year in flood losses. Eliminating a billion of that every year would probably pay for this pipeline.
I would like to start college but need labtop to start my life over again please help
Works in Eastern Washington, should work in Texas
Water was the problem in the DUST BOWEL, it they would of had water this would not of happened,,We don't want a second one...
