Sorta makes a boy nostalgic for the good old days (say, circa 1969 or
thereabouts) when he could just walk across......at any time of year.

Of course if TBone's scheme could be made to work, you could walk across
again, as all the water would be in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, etc. where
it
would obviously have more value than where it is now. And think of all
the
additional arable land that would become available, not just in the
former
desert areas, but in the newly exposed lake beds. (and just in case there
is
someone out there that needs this) 8)

T-Bone would like the NAWAPA. It's not completely dead.

Thus demonstrating once again that there is no idea so stupid that it cannot
garner widespread support.

The American west doesn't need MORE water. What it needs is a few tens of
millions LESS human parasites.

Wolfgang

Or at least tens of millions of humans who are willing to live in the
desert and accept that that is what it is. No green lawns. No green
golf courses (and thats what this is all about isn't it). No open
irrigation ditches. No ****ing "Dancing Waters" at the casino. Drink
recycled waste water (not a big Chamber of Commerce selling point, I
know). If you want to live a wet lifestyle, move somewhere where its
wet.
