Why can’t we pipe water to southwest US?

We pipeline oil from Canada to Texas, why can’t we pipeline water from the Great lakes to the south?

Edit: thank you all who replied, I’ve gathered that it is technically possible, but would come with a huge amount of legal, environmental, and practical issues due to the amount of water that would actually be needed. It sounds like there are far more practical solutions available if the need became dire enough.

Because the folks who live around the Great Lakes will fucking riot. We’re not dumb enough to live in a desert, why should our water be taken?
