Cleveland is approximately 200 ft higher in elevation than the Ohio River in Cincinnati. When one travels north on I 71 there is a sign that marks the watershed between the Great Lakes and the Ohio River that is maybe only 50 miles from the lake. Once over the watershed gravity would do the work via existing rivers or old canals. It would even be easier from Chicago as there is an existing connection. Ergo water could be diverted into the Ohio River basin and then extracted far down stream.

All of that said, I do not see the need. There is a large amount of water in the Ohio River, Missouri River and the Mississippi. Great Lakes water could be used at a time of drought to increase flow in the eastern tributaries of the Mississippi. I would again ask what could be done to capture the spring run off in the Missouri River basin. The floods there we often show a huge amount water that could be captured.

We went with a group to Arizona in March and traveled to the Grand Canyon and saw the Colorado River. There sure appears to be a lot more water here in the east than in the Colorado.

It sure seems to me that water is an issue that can be solved and (not to grind an old saw) a whole lot better investment than say windmills.
