Reader submissionsegarding 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.
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.

The water that would evaporate under the scorching sun would exceed manyfolds the water the aqueduct would catch from the occasional rainfall !

mud and crud is a natural storm drain of the global environment of water seeking the see level of the planet's curved surface while rotating and a moon orbiting slower than rotation speed(tides).nuckin futz » 05 Jul 2022, 10:14 pm » wrote: ↑ The Mississsippi River is nothing but a running open sewer!

Either use the Keystone pipeline with some modifications to bring water to the two lakes or tow huge balloons of fresh water over the ocean to where water is needed.
Both options would be extremely facilitated if we just invaded and annexed Canada !
Canadians would be very grateful to America if we freed them of their communist regime of that *** trudeau !
We could then just hang him and his dear ones !
After due process, of course !
Plus . . . Alaskans wouldn't need to go through a communist country no mo . . . to go to another state of the union!
