Can someone tell me why they haven’t built underground pipes across the U.S. to carry water from the states that are experiencing flooding/ high water levels to the states that are in a drought? I can see no environmental hazards that the environmentalists would be concerned about?

Flooding is generally a very localized and short term problem. Drought is a long term widespread problem.

You would spend hundreds of billions of dollars and it would take years to complete a pipeline that would have no use after the drought ended.
