My wife forwarded this to me because I have been talking about this very thing for months They could use hydrostatic turbines from heavily flowing rivers to generate electricity to supplement the energy needed to run pumps to pump the water and they could power the lights on the interstate hwys with the power created by turbines connected to the pipelines Brilliant idea and would create many jobs If there was a leak it would not have a severe environmental impact -

Some of the currently abandoned oil or natural gas pipelines could be used as starting points for this network.REPORT COMMENTS

Be it proposed as a CCC or WPA program...it would be a Godsend...or is there some political reason that it is not being built? If they can build a pipeline from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico to profit no one but oil moguls..they can build this to save lives and property damage..besides the long term jobs it would create would be a boon to the country.REPORT COMMENTS

It seem the powers that be can justify an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas only to line their pockets. The potential for disaster is ignored. Jobs that will be created are short term, and will only benefit the few. A water pipeline from the east collecting river overflow and excessive snow would be a win win for all. It would decrease flood damage, help in crop production and create long term jobs. I truly believe the reason we have not built it is that the political power will not profit from water. The history of mankind has lived without oil, but never without water. What is next,complete food imports?REPORT COMMENTS

My friends and I routinely decry the lack of pipelines to alleviate intermittent flooding in some areas of our country, costing millions of dollars of damage, while shortages in other areas cause millions of dollars of damage to our economy from droughts. It seems to us that such pipelines could be built by the states with flooding, with insurance company subsidies. We think the states with excess water should control dispersion as needed to states that need it, at an agreed upon price. Has the EPA completed any studies on the subject?REPORT COMMENTS

The floods and devastation in Texas and Oklahoma during 2015 are record breaking. Having a pipeline that would allow for an exchange of water back and forth to a variety of aqueducts could greatly lessen the loss of property and lives. Floods are no longer limited to a handful of states. Many states who suffer floods also suffer through droughts. We talk about alternative energy yet we continue to build oil pipelines at the cost of 100s of billions of dollars. We talk about over spending in the budget and job shortages but we refuse to address solutions to lessen the devastating effects from floods, droughts, fires, shore erosion, snow storms etc. Redirecting political priorities to governing states and nations like a family could bring real solutions. We are in this together. The problems of Texas, Florida, or Oklahoma may be the solutions for California, Arizona, or Iowa.REPORT COMMENTS

We built a natural gas pipeline system 85 years ago. Don't tell me that a country that built an interstate highway system 60 years ago can't build a water distribution system. And what if it leaks? If you worry about that, then don't sign this petition. PLEASE SHARE. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED.REPORT COMMENTS

If the oil companies can build an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas why can't our gov do that for waterREPORT COMMENTS

Let's get it going now. Too much loss , the cost versus loss especially human loss , seems like a no brainier. We don't have a problem piping oil which is toxic .REPORT COMMENTS

I believe this would be a benefit, relieving flood zones of excess water, filtered of course. This water would be delivered to regions like California, Nevada, and Arizona. And even possibly transform desert into viable land for agriculture, and development. There's many people out of work, mainly from the oil bust. many shipping companies have laid off crews, tied up supply boats. Oil companies have sent home skilled workers. We need a boost our economy by creating these jobs, and quenching the thirst of drought stricken areas.REPORT COMMENTS

This is an interesting idea that merits exploration. I can see how it would require carefully managing where water is sent. It would require the states to upgrade their antiquated water distribution systems. And as with the interstate system, I would imagine that the states would have to build and maintain parts of the distribution system within their borders. Perhaps the Army Corp of Engineers would manage the input into the system from existing reservoirs and output from the system into those reservoirs or other storage means as they do with water release from the federal dams. I can see this leading to additional water wars between the states unless the system is carefully managed. And watching for environmental impact. However it would work, there is an enormous of planning requires on the front end. Texas and the Southeast are very wet places right now and we are losing excess runoff that is desperately needed in other areas of the country. And there will come a day when the Southeast will experience severe drought again and will benefit from the system. With all this said I am not optimistic there will be the political will to even look at this.REPORT COMMENTS

Compared to the billions spent building the defunct Bagdad embassey spending an estimated $53B for a network of water pipelines to California from the Midwest is a no brainer. Definitely more important to this country than the Keystone pipeline.REPORT COMMENTS

I strongly agree to have this pipeline built for inter state water transport. it's not only for Texas's need, but any state that suffers from drought. maybe even connecting a desalinization plant from coastline states to augment supply needs.REPORT COMMENTS
