I will say this....some of you are missing the basics of the logistics here. No way would there not be pumps along the way. Its still retarded I agree. But they would probably have to create staging lakes on the route.

But desert defenders pushed back. John Neely of Palm Desert, California, responded: "All of these river cities who refuse to give us their water can stop snowbirding to the desert to use our water. The snowbirds commonly stay here for at least six months. Do they thank us for using our water? No. Do they pay extra for using our water? No.
Progressives are retarded.
Also, this both socially and physically impossible.

I told Billy Nungesser we should be exporting our water 15 years ago

frick them. This would amplify coastal erosion and destroy wildlife habitats in south Louisiana
They won’t build desalination plants because they think it’ll harm marine wildlife. But it’s ok to take our water from a way farther distance and destroy our natural habitats here. frick them

By that time all of the glaciers and polar ice caps will be melted and we'll have more water than we can handle.

That right there folks is a great example of why LA is falling further behind every state in the nation, the MS river now belongs to LA and we goin get paid.

Debatable. It's damn sure swampy around the Old River Control Structure, particularly just west of it.
It is arguably still Cajun Country. It is, after all, where the Red River ends and the Atchafalaya starts.

I can not believe how we're whiffing on the *real* solutions / issues at hand.
#1: The designed baking of the America's SW, evaporation of reservoirs, incineration of NorCal, and targeted flooding is all part of UN Agenda 2030 to re-confiscate current rural and unapproved pop centers and herd them into their projected metropolitan areas.
#2 If -- a real IF the Overlords were actually serious about permanent water supplies, DE-SALINATION PLANTS would have already resolved the problems (*cough* they could have used that $40+ billion they pissed away in Ukraine).
Remember -- it was *they* who flooded America with 50-60 unaccounted-for MILLIONS foreign "migrants", straining water supplies.

Team Margaret.
Water rights have been a problem in the western states for decades and those states have refused to build new reservoirs or use existing water for agriculture instead of letting it go to sea.
A lot of this shite is a mix of NIMBYism and “environmentalist” policies which are detrimental to the actual environment.

The Global-Totalitarian State knows they're not serious about diverting water from "redneck"-Red-State gulf / baw territory. This is just their way of tweaking and busting balls.
Common sense proposals like desalination plants could easily resolve the problems.

A few weeks ago I read an article by an engineer who had done some rough calculations that showed it would take at least 17 large nuke plants just to power the pumps necessary to move the water from the Mississippi, over the plains and mountains, and into Lake Powell.
This isn't happening.

Off subject, I know, but the majority of the Okeefenokee is in Georgia. Janet needs a map.

#3 - A project to install a pipeline/canal system from White Sands missile test range to the Lake Powell watershed. Then install giant water cannons at the Mississippi just above the ORCS. Shoot these massive 6' x 6' chunks of water into the upper atmosphere where they will freeze in transit, then land in the test range. The freezing is important because it will keep the whole column of water together in one chunk. Once landed, they will melt and deliver water to the Lake via the pipeline / canal structure.
That way it's only a few hundred miles of pipe / canal intead of thousands.

Here ya. Cray-Cray solution.
Naw -- stealing Mississippi water 1500 miles makes zero sense. Not a credible solution to begin with. (that Engineer estimated 17 nukes plants required just to pump those waters? Insane.)
The Goob CAN merely just stop obstructing water flow into lakes Powell and Mead. OR re-allocating the Ukraine and other feral foreign aid $$$ laundering ops to build massive Desalination Plants in CA or Baja Gulf (as in Israel and Arab countries) -- and pipe IT into the American SW.

Nice!
OR...
At the count of three everyone in the USA can spit toward Lake Mead as giant fans blow it all to its target. (Loogies will eventually be filtered)
See? NP. TD-OT know-how!

Pretty sure 200 miles north of Nola puts you in redneck Mississippi piney woods country. Not cajun country swamps.
