This could upend life in the west as we know it if lake mead hits dead pool.
No way!
Inconceivable!

Zero concern.

You serious, Clark?
This isn’t like pushing oil at all.
You are talking about massive amounts of water, over massive distances, to massive amounts of people.
The energy alone for that is completely untenable.

Never heard of it so I dont care.

Why are they holding more water in Lake Powell and starving Lake Mead?

Explain to me why it's impossible? So oil is easier to pump or push than water? Serious question, Clark.

That dryline look promising for Louisiana. But I'll probably be dead by the time it reaches us.

where do you suggest they get that water? and how willing to permit this do you think environmental groups would be for this massive never ending project?

Lake Powell sits below 30% capacity too. And Arizona’s human population is growing at a breakneck pace. They’re holding water back to protect hydro-power capabilities.

It is the volume alone, on top of distance.
We pump about 35 million gallons of oil through the Keystone pipeline daily, total.
Just Los Angeles uses 524 million gallons of water daily.
That’s one major city.
It alone requires more than 10x in volume.
Include the distance it would have to travel along with the speed, and you have levels of energy and dimensions of pipe that are just not possible.
It cannot be done.

This has been proposed. But...

As much as I hate Californians and the like, I don't want them flooding out here and Texas and ruining more of our homes

Lake Powell was constructed to ensure California, AZ, and Vegas area got it’s guaranteed amount of water which was based on an overestimated flow. Even when under low restrictions budgets the amounts used by lower states were still higher than true flow amounts (measured for 30 years ending around 100 years ago somewhere in AZ below where Powell is now). Lake Powell is low meeting guarantee to lower states and upper states increasing needs, and it had to have emergency water released from flaming gorge last summer.
California also got most of surplus not used by upper states for years and maybe since pact’s existence. The uppercase states are now needing to use more.
Below Mead CA and AZ have multiple dams built on Colorado before Mexico finally finishes it off across the border diverting most of into a canal.

I get worried when there’s not enough water for Pam and Tommy to ride around on their boat and film another movie

I'm up to date on it but concerned more for the water thieves and their political clout. Agriculture is taking way more than their share and on products we don't really need to focus on. Almonds for example. Pac Northern states shouldn't subsidize the industry sucker fish.

I live close to one of the Great Lakes. frick those people and Lake Mead.
