The United States is experiencing the worst drought ever recorded. The west coast is so dry that forest fires are becoming the norm, not the exception. The US West Prepares for Possible 1st Water Shortage Declaration. This water shortage is an historical event with one possible solution. The Keystone Pipeline could carry water instead of oil to the Midwest where farmers are now living in a dust bowl.

US West Prepares for Possible 1st Water Shortage Declaration | California News | US News

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — The man-made lakes that store water supplying millions of people in the U.S. West and Mexico are projected to shrink to historic lows in the coming months, dropping to levels that could trigger the federal government's first-ever official shortage declaration and prompt cuts in Arizona and Nevada.

Colorado River water will cascade down from the Rocky Mountains through Lake Powell and Lake Mead and into the arid deserts of the U.S. Southwest and the Gulf of California. Water levels in the two lakes are expected to plummet low enough for the agency to declare an official shortage for the first time, threatening the supply of Colorado River water that growing cities and farms rely on.

From Shasta to Folsom, shriveled reservoirs show depths of California’s drought disaster

Instead of being flush with newly melted snow, Folsom Lake is the driest it’s been in springtime since the epic drought of 1977. Water levels are so low that temporary pumps probably will be installed to help move water out of the stricken reservoir.

Water levels at Lake Oroville have plunged to the point that its giant hydropower plant could be idled for the first time ever this summer,

The US May Be About to Declare Its First-Ever Water Shortage

This coming August, for the first time in its history, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is likely to issue a Level 1 Water Shortage Declaration which would trigger mandatory cuts in water consumption primarily in two states — Arizona and Nevada.

The Colorado River flows all the way to the Gulf of California in Mexico, and it supplies water to over 40 million people living in seven southwestern states, 29 tribal nations, and two Mexican states.

I see a solution to the USA’s record water shortage while finishing the Keystone pipeline to carry water, not oil.

What do you think-?

Thats a very original idea and worth considering

That’s a good point but if the pipeline route is designed properly gravity could carry the water most of the way.

Sure, but not at a fast pace

And since the destination of Keystone was the refineries in Louisiana, then Louisiana will have lots of water.
Useless, unfortunately.

Louisiana doesn't need any water.

I've asked this question repeatedly. If we can build pipelines to carry oil or natural gas across a pipeline why can't we do the same thing with water from the Mississippi River or the Great Lakes?

Money.

Why give water to the Commie Californians? Let the sonofabitches suffer.
