Before discussing the idea, let me be the first to acknowledge that it is of enormous size & cost. My premise being that for every problem there is a workable solution.

The problem----- Floods & droughtsI told you it was going to be of enormous size. So if you care to listen --read on !!!

First, our homes & businesses, along with furnishings, merchandise, vehicles& all other necessities of daily living has & will continue to be destroyed by flooding until something positive is done to find better answers to these flooding problems.

The Solution--basically simple.We have to get rid of the water as fast as it rises.How do we do this ??If oil can be transported via pipelines so can water. Where are we going to pipe this water??? To those parts of the country that need water most (drought areas) & other parts of the country that are in short supply.

Past history of flooding indicates that it begins mostly (not always) in our northern states & by way of flow continues to run South. Water will always follow the path of least resistance or pitch of gravity.

My suggestion is to start with the hardest hit states & work to build a network of pipelines to get rid of the unwanted water & pipe to those sections of the country in need of it.

To those critics who again question the cost---YES it is going to cost some BIB BUCKS, BUT ..just stop & think for a minute what the cost has been & will continue to esculate for continued rebuilding again & again. If we get rid of the water where it is causing the damage --it won't cause the damage.

As far as the engineering needed for a project of this magnitude--it is feasible to do. AND SO... before going any deeper into the solution, I would like feedback concerning those out there who have comments both PRO or CON.

Thank You.
