With water supposidly being in such short supply everywhere, why don't the Feds do something about it? Instead of taking our money and wasting it looking for water on Mars, or researching the effects of cow farts (methane) on the atmosphere, why don't they put in a "national water sharing system". Along with the Feds each state could help subsidize its construction in an amount proportional to their percieved need or to the amount that its use would help their economy, or what ever way the "powers that be" deemed to be fair for all. Now I'm not talking a home supply system like a city has, but rather a network of large diameter pipes and pumping stations branching throughout the states. pipe them into several of the largest bodies of water in each state. I'm sure they could figure out which ones are gonna be effected the most by the amount of rainfall, etc recieved in each area. Look at the way the weather usually goes. It always seems like when the West coast is drowning the East is high and dry, when the North is flooding, the South is drying out. They can pump millions and milllions of gallons of oil from Alaska and other places to points all over the country, why can't they do the same with water? Spend some of the billions in taxes they take in every year from us and do something that would solve one of the biggest problems we supposidly face. The way I look at it it would be a huge step toward eliminating one of farmings biggest problems which has always been drought. Maybe it wouldn't wipe it totally out, but why not give it a try. Just my .02
