Gosh, no. I thought you could run a pipeline over the Rocky Mountains without a pump - just let gravity get it up there. Now that you mention it, that makes my idea lot less simple. Gotta add an energy source. I could donate one of my portable generators, if that would help. Might be an even bigger job than that. Might need a whole-house Generac.

I wonder if there are any sizeable tracts of land in the midwest that using for retention ponds wouldn't bother anyone too much? I know that almost 4% of the land is already being used by humankind, but maybe we could find a few low-lying, flood-prone spots that aren't, and build the ponds there?
