I'm sure there are plans drawn up already to divert at least half of the Columbia.

I been saying that for years, Mississippi always floods I have saying for over 20 years Why do they not build a water pipeline with fingers running around the Country and places that have flooding can pay to pump water into the system to get rid of it out of their area and other places that are in a drought can pay to get the water out of the system. Paying at both ends could pay for the filtration , Pumps and Maintenance. But then I am just a stupid Welder/ Inspector

All the naysayers that don't want California to get water might check all the Trump counties out. They are the ones that need the water. Look at the vote in places like Susanville and Shingletown. Good redneck people in that part of the state. I agree with hating on Berkley, San Fran, and LA et al but not the red side of the state.

Yeah, our county has historically voted red at a 75% rate.
Of course, there's only about 4k registered voters, less than on a city block in LA probably.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/california-regulator-rejects-plan-desalination-plant-2022-05-13/You can about imagine what kinda of kooky enviro reasoning is behind this. Heck, they get enough sun that they could probably power it with solar. They already suck the Colorado dry, or darn near. Now they want to start on the Missouri Or Mississippi, but they can’t make way for a desalination plant when they are on the largest body of water on earth?

Want to fill Powell & Mead? Quit releasing water! Not a drop of the Colorado makes it to the Pacific anymore. If Cali dried up and blew away so much the better.

The root of the water problem is California's 40 million population living in a desert. Establish reverse migration to Mexico until the population is down to a Sustainable 5 million or so.

This ^^ I just thought that water from Devils Lake is so much closer than the Mississippi. But, ND is a small State with a relatively few people so I'm sure there is no reason to help them out. Just because the lake continues to grow and the salination problem is only going to get worse doesn't mean a thing to Washinton D.C. kwg

Just because the lake continues to grow and the salination problem is only going to get worse doesn't mean a thing to Washinton D.C. kwg Devils Lake isn’t all that big - wouldn’t help California much. May drain much of it just filling up the pipeline. Devils lake could easily shrink again with prolonged drought - we were in a wet cycle for a while and I’m not sure that it is still growing. Much of the upper Missouri drainage can be subject to drought as well - not sure it would be “consistent” enough. Often Wyoming and Montana, where much of the Missouri water comes from, are dry when California is dry. Upper stream and lower stream states already fight about the water. It is pretty much uphill from the Mississippi to the continental divide in the Rockies. Again, the Pacific Ocean is the largest body of water in the world. Why not desalination?

Funny stuff the idea is. They want to pump a flow rate that is equivalent to 1/3 that of Niagara Falls. Good grief Charlie Brown.

Yeah, let’s screw up a unique ecosystem in a red state for those fruity fugs in California.

Maybe California would be more “sustainable” if they weren’t a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants. It amazes me that so often the biggest advocates for open borders are also the craziest greenies.
The country would actually be more livable with 250 million people instead of 335 million. With our reduced birth rate, if we controlled our borders, we would eventually downsize to a population more easily supported by our resources, with more space for everyone.

Maybe quit paying money for Mexicans to make babies and pay them to get fixed instead?
