re: I've been saying for years that the one big project nobody's thinking of that I'd undertake if I were President would be a national water grid, so that places with water shortages would be able to receive water from places where there are surpluses The Great Lakes hold 21% of the world's fresh water, and 84% of the US fresh water. But the border Governors are very jealous of their resource and really don't want to share. Why? I have no clue. epa.gov

Would probably be really, really expensive, but cheaper than eventually having to shut down cities like Atlanta and Las Vegas, which is starting to seem inevitable That sad thing about Atlanta its not just mismanagement. Apparently, their climate is changing. Atlanta used to have more water than it knew what to do with it. But its been in a severe drought for several years. Making matters worse is that the cities downstream from Atlanta need water as well. As far Las Vegas goes, look to LA and San Diego to be problem long before Vegas. I don't understand how S. CA can be allowed to grow with water so short. N. CA is complaining about the water diverted to S. CA and AZ and Nevada are complaining about the water diverted from the Colorado to CA. All of those places are adding people in droves and the water is just not there to handle the load. And yet places like Phoenix are growing at a rapid rate.
