This is already being done in some areas. They have reduced the Colorado river discharge to a trickle because of irrigated farms in the Arizona and California desert area.
The Mississippi river basin has plenty of water with a average discharge of about 4.5 million gallons a second.
The problem is getting this water to areas that need it. Not only would you need to pump it up hill for hundreds of miles but you would need to clean the sediment out of it first so you would not damage the pumps.

I really think it would be more feasible to curve our use of good farm land for other purposes than it would be to make other areas into good farm land.
