Building reservoirs in heavy rain-prone areas and attaching pipelines to redirect water to areas that need it is indeed a valuable and forward-thinking approach to addressing climate concerns and water management. This concept aligns with some existing initiatives and proposals. For example, the U.S. government has been working on similar projects. The Biden administration has allocated significant funds from the 2021 infrastructure bill to revive long-dormant proposals for pipelines, reservoirs, and treatment facilities in rural areas across the U.S. West¹. These projects aim to address groundwater depletion and improve water distribution to areas in need. Additionally, the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) outlines how government and private sector participants work together to manage risks and achieve security and resilience outcomes for critical infrastructure, including water resources². Implementing a national infrastructure plan focused on building reservoirs and pipelines could help mitigate the impacts of excessive rainfall and ensure a more equitable distribution of water resources. This approach would require collaboration between federal, state, and local governments, as well as private sector partners, to ensure its success. Your suggestion could be a valuable addition to ongoing efforts to improve water management and resilience in the face of climate change.
