ELi5: Why can’t we build a giant water pipeline across the US? I live in north east US and we get an insane amount of precipitation. Can’t we help out the west by moving some of that to them?

how do you propose we get that water over the rocky mountains? that’s be bat shit crazy expensive and generally not worth it. while sure, there are “droughts” it’s not like they are entirely out of water, there’s already water pipeline networks in place to get the water there. the west already gets a lot of water from the northwest. that pipeline already exists.
