Eli5: why can’t we have a transcontinental water pipeline for flood/drought?

507 views

Every year the east side of the country seems to have historic flooding, meanwhile there is always historic drought out west.

Why can’t we just build a pipeline to pump flood zones to drought zones?

Because the amlount of water to move is incredibly large.

You’d have to create a continent sized river rivaling the Mississippi to manage that.
