That seems insanely unfeasible given the sheer length, cost and probable thousands of eminent domain fights

No

This is our water. If people want it they can move out of the fucking desert and come to it.

Not too familiar with that region, but isn't one of the Great Lakes connected to the Mississippi via canal?

Remember reading something about this...??

Edit: or reversed the flow of a river feeding it...

This makes it sound like it was a thing, but isn't anymore.

The Ohio & Erie Canal traveled through the Cuyahoga Valley on its way to connecting the Ohio River with Lake Erie.

Would be a bat shit insane project. Remember this water would literally have to get across or through the Rocky Mountains.

Not directly, but there is a canal in Chicago which connects Lake Michigan to a river which feeds into the Mississippi River.

I would definitely support an intercontinental canal system fed by the great lakes- and I live in the Great lakes region

Also they need to stop wasting water growing crops in the desert. They're already running the deep earth water wells dry.

To make it habitable.

No. If people want to have access to ample amounts of water they shouldn't move to a desert wasteland.

It doesn't need to be habitable. I'd sooner support assisting people to relocate from an uninhabitable wasteland than contribute to creating another uninhabitable wasteland

only if we make laws preventing the water from being used to grow Saudi alfalfa. that's a significant contributor to the water scarcity in the SW. i don't think we should be diverting water away from the midwest so the Saudis can have beef.

edit: the law should affect the SW's usage of the water too. they shouldn't be able to just waste away all of their water and expect us to give them more.

I hope something good happens to you today
