It seems like you'd have to do a lot more than just set up the pipes and pumps to make this something that would work well. With things as they are, it seems like it would just turn into a "too much traffic? add more lanes" kind of thing. Pump more water to California and California will just use more water. What will stop a state from essentially letting California suck it dry, as it has basically done to itself already, for political or financial reasons?
- thehappypm 5y agoCompletely agree. California should either a) stop using so much water or b) buy water from wet places. I don’t feel any obligation whatsoever to irrigate the desert across the country. Plenty of farmland in the Midwest and East.
