Reply #5: You can look to CA as an example of your idea [View All]

CA has one of the most extensive water diversion systems in the world. It has allowed LA to become LA, but it's also caused extensive ecological destruction across the state. It also threatens to create far more damage as ever more water is required. Basically, transporting water from one area to another just moves the problem. There's another issue too. Where are you going to locate enough fresh water to make this idea work? CA has talked (in the past) about transporting water from Alaska, but the price is prohibitive both in terms of dollars and ecological damage. Seems to me that it would be far more effective to limit population growth and development as well as working toward reducing global warming.
