We are currently still within the grip of one of North America's Great Droughts. These things have been going on for thousands of years ~ probably even during periods of major glaciation in the North.

Sure, this is an agricultural wonderland ~ so is the Sahara desert ~ if you can get water to it.

Best news I've heard in years is some group wants to link the Missouri watershed upstream to the Colorado River watershed. Fantastic idea ~ maybe even make a deal with Canada to hook in the Great Slave area to the Missouri watershed ~

There's no technical reason we can't drought proof North America.

True.....the Columbia River reclamation project in eastern Washington is a great example of turning desert into fertile farmland...

Quite true about the drought. The Missouri River is so low in places it is barely navigable. Shipwreck that sank in it during the 1800’s are now visible.
