We could fill Lake Powell in less than a year with an aqueduct from Mississippi River
Reader submissions
Regarding the Mississippi water letters of June 26, citizens of Louisiana and Mississippi south of the Old River Control Structure don’t need all that water. All it does is cause flooding and massive tax expenditures to repair and strengthen dikes. The best solution would be for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build an aqueduct from the Old River Control Structure on the Mississippi to Lake Powell, fill it, and then send more water from there down the Colorado to fill lake Mead.
About 4.5 million/gals a second flow past that structure on the Mississippi. As mentioned, New Orleans has a problem with that much water anyway, so let’s divert 250,000 gallons/sec to Lake Powell, which currently has a shortage of 5.5 trillion gallons. This would take 254 days to fill. Lake Mead has a somewhat larger shortage, about 8 trillion gallons, but it could be filled in about 370 days at 250,000 gallons/sec.
Within a year and eight months of the aqueduct’s finish, both reservoirs would be filled and most of the Southwest’s water problems would be gone. We built a California aqueduct that saved Southern California and a crude oil pipeline across Alaska that were far more difficult than this proposal.

That makes Sense Republican's would never vote for the Money or the Emergency needed as Calif Farms are not getting water this Year from Lake Mead, Next year Calif farms are producing Nothing.
You mean we could water from the Mississippi and transport it over the Rockies to Calif?
That would solve so many problems.

A water Pipeline over the Rockies from the Mississippi to the West coast, good idea.
That is Infrastructure in America, Republicans hate Infrastructure.

I think a Pipeline from the Mississippi to Lake Powel and Lake Mead is a Good Idea, Invest in America.

Southern route would need to pump over higher elevation, but a lot less than Rockies.Holdor » 02 Jul 2022, 4:33 pm » wrote: ↑ That makes Sense Republican's would never vote for the Money or the Emergency needed as Calif Farms are not getting water this Year from Lake Mead, Next year Calif farms are producing Nothing.

But California has so much surplus cash, they can solve their own water problems with local solutions like dams and desalinization...right...?Holdor » 02 Jul 2022, 4:33 pm » wrote: ↑ That makes Sense Republican's would never vote for the Money or the Emergency needed as Calif Farms are not getting water this Year from Lake Mead, Next year Calif farms are producing Nothing.

No need to make a Federal Project out of it...right...??

Look at a good map! To cross the Rockies you will have to pump water uphill to 7000-9000 feet minimum! It would require massive pumps, and much more than one pump. Do we even have pumps capable of such?

No need to go across the Rockies along a southern route. If we can pump gas , we can pump water.nuckinfutz » 02 Jul 2022, 9:29 pm » wrote: ↑ Look at a good map!

Dams do not solve the Problem, But Southern Calif should definitely have more desalination plants.

on the west coast of Mexico they mix their water with Sea water For Showering, Washing etc, and there are Mom & Pop Reverse Osmosis Water creators all over the place, they sell 5 Gal of Purified water for $1 Delivered,
They actually drive around in Trucks saying AGUA, AGUA over the loud Speaker, you flag them down and the guy brings in a 5 gal Jug of Water for $1 and takes your empty bottle.

They say the Alkaline won't hurt you.
I am skeptical.

Heat the water. Steam rises. As it cools, it liquifies and runs down hill.nuckinfutz » 02 Jul 2022, 9:29 pm » wrote: ↑ Look at a good map!

And yes, of course we have pumps of whatever size needed. If we did not, we would simply build them.
Here's the biggest to date - of we need bigger, we will build bigger:
