California's Water Problem

The logical source for water in SO Cal is the Columbia River.... Sound insane??     It isn't.   Once the Columbia reaches the Pacific nobody has a claim on it anymore.  The value of what California produces for America would justify building a massive undersea pipeline.  No mountains to drill or blast through or pump over, no rights of way to negotiate.   Cost would be immense... like any other infrastructure project, but the payout would be fairly rapid.... Water has considerable value.    The jobs created ,  during construction, manufacturing, etc.   There would be no better time to do something like this than right now.   There are already a number of undersea water pipelines  in existence, notably between Turkey and Cyprus where a floating undersea pipeline carries water across the Mediterranean Sea.   It is a mere fraction of the scale... only 59" dia, and 14 miles long, but it IS a good model for how this could be done.   Other coastal river mouths could feed this pipeline, so it could be started on a smaller scale.   Numerous rivers enter the Pacific  north of the Bay area.  Once that water enters the Pacific it is of no use to anybody.....it mixes with salt water.   Water is not created nor destroyed... It just recycles in the atmosphere.
