Why can’t the US build infrastructure that automatically siphons water from flood zones to the west during flood seasons?

The project would be too big, too complex and no instant capitalistic gains.
There’s more of course but you get the idea
Siphoning only works to 10m above the flood water. If at any point along the 1000 mile siphon you are proposing goes above 10m, it won’t work.
You keep your grubby mitts off my Great Lakes. Don’t even think of turning Lake Erie into the Aral Sea! Really thats one of the big reasons we don’t move mass amounts of water like that, it can do massive and unpredictable damage. Better to work on better ways to control water usage (stop making almond milk ya hosers) than to take it from far away.
That would mean our leaders would have to work together and combine minds instead of saying shit this dude’s got a good idea, I didn’t come up with it so fuck them.
