If done large scale would this effect subsequent rainfall downwind like the Midwest?
Midwest moisture comes primarily from the Gulf of Mexico.
The Rockies essentially dry the air before it reaches the midwest............
There is no scarcity of water. There is a scarcity of of political will to do good things for the citizens.
Fix water scarcity.
1. Ocean water to desalinization facilities along the coast.
2. Pipelines covered in solar collection materials to be converted to electricity to run pumping stations along the way.
Route the pipelines to places where water is scarce. Problem solved.
It really is that simple. With fresh water, new economies are created for food production and export.
Again, it is only political will that stops this from happening.

In the Midwest most moisture comes up from the Gulf.
