Sharing Mississippi water with California would help feed America

Why should any state help california? They have caused their own problems. They can fix it on their own.

 

The elevation of the canal bed varies from 1 m below sea level at Hangzhou to 38.5 m above at its summit. At Beijing, it reaches 27 m, fed by streams flowing downhill from the mountains to the west
Now
Look up elevation from Mississippi river to let say half way only to Kansas - it's already 300 meters up in the air
And we did not even touched mountain region yet

 

I agree in principle, except for two reasons.

They appear incapable of finding solutions so they need help or nudging.

We all eat what they grow.

 

Except we don't. At least we don't on the water intensive crops. Get rid of the almonds and alfalfa and there will be no water issues.

Some of Californias main crops appear to use very close to the same amount. Given that, I don’t see how two particular crops should be targeted. Perhaps the answer is a multifaceted approach of conserving and increasing water supply.

1. Pasture (clover, rye, bermuda and other grasses), 4.92 acre feet per acre
2. Almonds and pistachios, 4.49 acre feet per acre
3. Alfalfa, 4.48 acre feet per acre
4. Citrus and subtropical fruits (grapefruit, lemons, oranges, dates, avocados, olives, jojoba), 4.23 acre feet per acre
5. Sugar beets, 3.89 acre feet per acre
6. Other deciduous fruits (applies, apricots, walnuts, cherries, peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, prunes, figs, kiwis), 3.7 acre feet per acre
7. Cotton, 3.67 acre feet per acre
8. Onions and garlic, 2.96 acre feet per acre
9. Potatoes, 2.9 acre feet per acre
10. Vineyards (table, raisin and wine grapes), 2.85 acre feet per acre

 

Lol

how many lakes did Los Angeles drain in the mountains and build the aqueduct to steal the water and divert it to LA ?

why would you want to help the idiots that live in California ?
Elections have consequences.
They just voted to not build a desalination plant .
So apparently their water problem is not really a problem at all since they are not interested in more water .
They just want every city to be a giant homeless camp .

 

I may be mistaken, but isn’t the Mississippi River a whole lot further away than 785 miles?
And others have noted, China is not something to emulate as for technology, is the 3 Gorges Dam still on the verge of collapse?
