Is Water Redistribution To Control Climate Change A Viable Option ?

[my2¢]

Water redistribution most often talked about in these here parts is taking flood waters from the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and piping them into the Colorado. Not practical.

I dont think we should deplete the underground water table for agriculture

But we need more water in my opinion not less lettuce

To cultivate lettuce, you will need almost 27,000 gallons of water per week per acre12. A single lettuce plant can stay fit in just 1 cubic inch of water available per week1. Lettuce requires watering every four to five days on a constant basis for the majority of their lives34. The first two weeks after planting may need watering on a daily basis, depending on your location’s weather patterns and climate zone4. Maximum water use by lettuce is approximately 0.15 in. of water per day, but can vary depending on location and time of planting5.

Flood water is notoriously polluted. The cost of purifying it would be enormous.

Lettuce farms repel rainwater. Grasslands attract rainwater. We need more grasslands, which is great for raising grass fed beef.

I am thinking enough water tondo both

Groundwater is being depleted, and the rain isn't falling where needed. We have droughts in one place and flooding in others.

However, the groundwater of flooded areas is being recharged and purified by filtration/percolation and could be piped to other areas that need it. Flood water itself is usually very polluted.

" Chinese Smog Needs Rain Or Filtration "

* Uncertain Extent Of Implementation *

I believe the new goal is to recapture carbon dioxide rather than releasing it into the environment .

I think following fixes to a non problem is the greater problem

How about before responding to a post you actually read it well enough to understand what is being said.

I know what was being said.

any government that can ban abortion can also require it ...

I reject that.

It happened in China.
