Water Pipeline, Midwest to California
Here is an idea for you but I know it will nver fly... Every year we have these destructive floods in the Midwest of the country. And evidence has shown that because of the effects of global warming, there will be more disasters of this nature in the coming years. Why not device a way to harvest the water run-off from the floods and transport them to other parts of the country that is prone to drought?
