In spite of all of this, population continues to grow and water usage rises. People are wild.

Oh boy. This old crap again.
I am genuinely confused by this. Is population not rising and water usage increasing?

Guarantee they will pipeline water from the Mississippi as quickly as possible
This is patently illegal-- states have water rights that can't just be disregarded. Even if those didn't exist, the cost to pipe this water so would be so extreme it would be unrealistic. And even if those two obstacles didn't exist it would take a decade of litigation at the least to agree on a pipeline path.

The snow melt that will arrive this summer will be epic. I don’t think you can quite understand how much snow melt there will be this year.
This is what sparked my interest today. It's something like 260% of expected levels. But even with all that, it will maybe undo a year of damage and then the lakes will continue dropping at a terrifying rate and they'll be back in crisis mode in October.

Commiefornia water companies nixed a pipeline from Alaska that would have provided excess runoff from melting snow.
Commiefornia water companies don’t want to fix the problems that they have caused and they want to keep siphoning all the surface water they can from their desert neighbors.

The El Niño weather pattern we are entering leads to wetter conditions in Southern California, Nevada, etc.
The pattern usually lasts a few years so they should be ok at least until we have another La nina

Make it even better, California will pass water usage regulation onto products to show they are Doing Something about the problem they generated, and expect other states to basically abide by the half solutions to specifically their problem.

Really, how is Abu Dhabi doing it then?
They start by attracting a motivated workforce to a well planned and organized country. 90% of the population in the UAE are here on a visa for work.
