The Colorado River is low on water and, according to the New York Times, a plan by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation is about to be revealed that would take water from the Missouri River and send it into a 600 mile pipeline to the Colorado River.

Um....no.

The Colorado River starts on the western side of the Continental Divide, and with the exception of a few diversionary tunnels feeding Denver, it does not have anything to do with eastern Colorado's lack of water.

So, if someone's thinking about pumping Missouri water to the Colorado River, that's gonna be one helluva pump!

I have understood that a lot of CO water goes down the CO River unused. That was why they planned the Twoforks damn that never happened thanks to evironazies. Would come in handy about now.
