I understand people have varied levels of sympathy for western water tables and water rights, but that is the bread basket of this country.
I am surprised congress hasn't proposed a water pipeline, say from the mouth of the Mississippi thru a series of lakes with giant pumping stations in an attempt to maintain levels. Maybe that is pie in the sky and the cost would be outrageous, but we do it with oil pipelines.
I see all that flood water in the spring along the Mississippi and wonder why we don't try to capture it in some way.
30 or 40 years ago there were suggestions from California about tapping into the Columbia River and sending some of that water south. Didn't go over too well in the NW. Placing a number of salmon and steelhead on the endangered species list kind of stopped that thought.
