Why haven't we built a pipeline from the Great Lakes to the Southwest yet?

Seems to be a wasted resource as the fresh water just sits there and does nothing.

There are millions of Americans in the Southwest that need access to water. Think of the opportunities that we are missing out on.

Why can't you clean all that water in that giant body of water next to you
First we give you water from our rivers in Colorado and now you want the Great lakes too?
I think it's time the (((southwest))) come up with their own solutions to getting their own water instead of demanding we give them ours
Like if you got water problems do you really need a grassy lawn and golf courses?
Why don't you parasites learn to stop being wasteful and stealing from the river and lake peoples because you niggers chose to live in a scorching desert?

aral sea was in an arid area and dried up because rivers feeding it were diverted to irrigate cotton fields. river can be re diverted and aral sea will fill back up again, but growing cotton if much more profitable.
great lakes have huge watershed and replenish water through natural precipitation (aka a diversifies source of water)
although mississipi river would be a better source since it causes huge floods

Because since the 1960s, when jews completely captured our democratic process and institutions, the mission of government is to invest as little as possible into America's infrastructure while simultaneously extracting the maximum possible amount of resources toward subsidizing the destruction of Israel's regional enemies until they can expand their political control over the entire Middle East, where they will be situated to become the global superpower via arbitrage between Europe, Asia, and Africa and construct the Third Temple.

you realise your entire infrastructure and welfare is paid entirely by California and New York? You know...the states that are actually net benefits to the union?

Their is also something called a desalination facility. Build those right next to that big fuckin ocean. Pulls in salt water puts out fresh drinking water. All of those tech industries and still can't figure it out. Dumbasses...

We would love to share this delicious resource with you but we cannot. It would speed up Climate Change ^tm. You imposed Climate Change ^tm rules on us for our own good. So we must conserve every precious drop and this means we have to keep our Great Lakes local.

Also, we're full, so don't move here.

We don't need water from lakes. The snow melt from northern California is more than enough for the whole state a thousand time over. What we need to so is build more reservoirs.

If it was really bad we'd start building nuclear desalination plants.

Because they are stupid and think they can get water from the Great Lakes while being ignorant of the largest fucking river in North America they would need to go through.

Anyway pic related a real plan made by engineers. It takes water from the Yukon river and supplies to to the continent, also a video.

What I don't understand is why we don't dump all of the garbage and radioactive waste in the Grand Canyon? It can fit all of our waste for a million years, and when the hole's filled, it'll be level with the rest of the land so you won't even notice it.

Consider changing where the gas comes from and you might not run out, like say from a Russian company called gazprom, which maybe boast an oil reserve that can be leveraged so as not to run out in America, also then consider a rout through the berring straight to go through alaska and Canada into say maybe Texas, which can be leveraged to facilitate the spread of oil to get it to places with logistically sound planning, so as not to run out, transported in say shipping containers and stretches of pipeline that are approved, and then trucks as a last resort measure if possible to reduce transmission cost from pipeline to container to transport enough gas to make the us have a sustained but not sustainable enough energy infrastructure for however long gazprom can supply it

Californians water problems are entierly the result of californias shitty water management practices and destruction of it's own watersheds. Real retard shit like paving over the LA river in an already arid region so even during the wet season the water can no longer soak into the soil creating a concrete desert where there used to be a river whichs recursively feeds back into the problem. Las vegas is even more arid and yet is far far better at water management than LA is. They neither deserve it with the way their practices are now nor would it actually help them in the long run while costing others. Building water infrastructure and pipelines for california is like sending food aid to africa.

Because it's unsustainable.
I've said and feel the same way about niggers in Africa that I do about idiots trying to farm in the desert.

>>507056246
You still have to get all that water from close to sea level up to around 9000 feet of elevation. How much energy does it take to raise a single gallon 9000 feet in the air?

>be completely irresponsible with the water you do have

The Great lakes have a very small watershed.

It's not just the Rocky Mountains that's the problem. Ever heard the phrase "as flat as Kansas"? Guess what? Even being "flat", if you cross the entire state you end up with about 3500 feet in elevation gain, meaning you have to use energy to pump the water up the entire way.
Pic related the highest point in Kansas. Despite the area being flat, it's still over 3000 feet higher than the other side of the state. Same is true for most of the states between the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains.

>>507045859 (OP)
Because california would squander all that water in less then a decade.

>>507045859 (OP)
Before you build a pipeline I imagine you would stop sending water from the Pacific to Atlantic watersheds via the C-BT diversion, but I dare you to touch a gate valve in Grand County

>>507065790
Doesn’t matter if it’s expensive as long as California can afford it (they will). Plus they can always do what the Roman’s did and build aqueducts and gravity feed the entire pipeline (with the occasional pump house powered by fracked oil)

>>507065790
Then you put the pipes underground. You can also use aqueducts or siphons to cross rivers and canyons.
The Romans figured this all out 2000 years ago.
The problem will be $$$

>>507066340
>Would be curious to see an elevation cross section of this showing how deep that pipeline would have to go to actually gravity feed to the southwest
It can't gravity feed to the southwest because the southwest is higher in elevation than the Great Lakes.

facts divert dat snake river down south. salt lake needs replenishing that mfer shrinking

>>507066441
That's my point retard. That pipeline would have to maintain a certain slope over the entire distance which means once you're in the southwest it would end up way deep relative to surface grade.
I wonder how deep that pipeline would end up being / how high you'd have to pump the water to the surface

>>507066039
>Then you put the pipes underground.
Are you retarded? If you put it one foot underground, by the time you get to the other end of the state the pipe is 3500 feet underground (actually even further down than that because you want gravity to assist with flow). It is amazing how people like you are able to live your daily life when you are incapable of even the most basic of logical thought.

>>507066441
>>507067007
I did some retard math and used distance from Chicago to Phoenix which is about 1,799 miles
If my shit is accurate, and it very well may not be cuz am retard, to maintain a 1% slope over that distance you're pipeline would need to lose about 18 miles of elevation, which means by the time you're in Phoenix you have to pipe the water up 18 miles just to get back to Chicago elevation, and then whatever elevation on top of that to get to the surface, which seems to be about another 900-1,000 feet if Chicago is roughly 600 ft and phoenix is roughly 1500 feet

its way too expensive. you can build pipelines for oil because oil is like $50 a barrel, or over $1 per gallon. water costs less than one hundredth of that. even with the water shortages in california, farmers there pay less than a tenth of a penny per gallon to irrigate their farms. (they buy water by the acre-foot.) so i dont want to hear your retarded arguments about how we can do it for oil but not water.
