[Carthego delenda est]

“Thank God I live in Michigan (and, no, you can’t have any of our water!).”

I’ve often wondered why massive pipelines from the Great Lakes to the arid western states, and even California, haven’t been built yet. There’s probably a million miles of oil and gas pipelines crisscrossing the nation, but few for water.

On another note, I wonder if the Sioux and the environazis would protest a pipeline that brought them water?

1) The Great Lakes Water Resources Compact.
2) The potential for a water war (I'm not kidding).

The only diversion of great lakes water (I know of) recently was for a Wisconsin town that has way too much radium/radon in their drinking water to be safe. The diversion had to be signed off by governors of all states (I think) and took years to approve.
