Obviously this wouldn’t relieve the issues caused by low snowpack and decreasing precipitation, but it could supplement the water used for everyday living or agriculture during times of drought right?

Explaining with my smol brain.
1. Costs. Oil has more value than water and people are more willing to pay for the electricity, maintenance, and construction of pipelines for oil because of money.
2. Water is much heavier than Oil meaning it would need a more powerful pump to move the liquids from one place to another, circling to the first one which is cost. More fuel or electricity would be burned off by transporting water.
I read some articles about the US planning to create an Interstate water system where they transport water around their country and it is doable but right now, oil is just ‘more important’ for everyone. a dollar in price increase gets the whole world racking their brains.
