There's about 190,000 miles of oil pipeline in the US. No reason why water can't be moved around in the same way.
Then there's desalinization, a proven technology used in more than 120 countries around the world. But mention that here in CA, and people's heads start exploding.
I realize that controlling water here in the West is highly-politicized, but really...do we have to wait 'till the taps run dry before the powers-that-be get off their azzes and do something about this impending catastrophe?
