The Great American Aqueduct

Again, my sincerest apologies for not contacting you for so long, but alack, the joys of summer are stronger than the bonds of a blog, even one so fine and dear to my heart as this, the Lobolian Rant. I would like to adress a plan I have come up with for resolving the difficulties of two regions of this country, Flood and Fire.
Say we were to build an aqueduct extending across the southern part of the United States from the hurricane ravenged southeast to the draught-plauged southwest. After each hurricane, the excess water could be pumped and channeled down the aqueduct to Arizona, Nevada, California, Western Texas, New Mexico, wherever the lack of rainfall is being felt the hardest. The system could be done easily enough, the Romans managed to build lots of aqueducts back in the day with far fewer resources than what 21st century technology could dredge up. Then whenever a hurricane strikes New Orleans again, which one easily could do, rather than dump the water back into Lake Ponchetrain as the US Army Corps of Engineers usually would do, it would be funneled to aid in drought relief where water is scarce. If the water is simply dumped back into Lake Ponchetrain, it could easily come back when or if the levys breach.

Long ago a wolf did howl in the day, as a river flowed and the ocean called. But the wolf lay down by another shore, and then became a tree.
