As I posted elsewhere [1], I have no intention of debating with you or other posters here about the merits of the project. I&#x27;m simply letting people know the project exists, and is feasible from an engineering standpoint. If someone finds my comment intellectually gratifying, then I consider it a success.<p>Something worth mentioning though is that right now China is building its own version of the NAWAPA called the <i>South-to-North Water Diversion Project</i> (Nánshuǐ Běidiào Gōngchéng) [2]. This would divert water from the wet regions in the south to the dry regions in the north. They&#x27;ve built the largest dams in the world and hundreds of miles of aqueduct to make this happen. They&#x27;ve also relocated hundreds of thousands people too. In my opinion, this is one of the largest engineering projects on the planet.<p>NAWPA is very similar to the Chinese project, except on a larger scale.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11665546" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11665546</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;South%E2%80%93North_Water_Transfer_Project" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;South%E2%80%93North_Water_Tran...</a>
