The Wikipedia article for the S–N Water Transfer Project states that nearly a third of a million people were forced out of their homes, environmental devastation is resulting, and that it could end up with large evaporation issues. Living in the US Southwest myself, any program to reshape the hydrology of a large region does seems myopic and arrogant, as the problems start to really show after decades of use. The destruction of the Aral Sea is another example. Just because it can be built does not make it a success.
