How will "desalination" refill the "Mississippi" River to cover the "relics" again and make it "passable" for "barge" traffic?
What is your "plan" to get the "massive" amount of ocean "water" needed to the "Midwest"?
We get "massive amounts" of oil from place to place. Why not massive amounts of water? We use things called "pipelines".
Besides, we can build railroads. The important thing is to get water to the "bread basket" of America. Without food, we starve. Did that have to be explained?
Starve?
40% corn crops going to ethanol. 20% of that is exported.
Exporting millions of metric tons each year of ag grains and products, while WE pay record prices for groceries.
Ag has taken us for a ride for decades.
No, in the recorded history of the time we have observed the river, we have not had a time when one year had all time flood records, and the next year had all time low water records.

That's called "tiny thinking". No imagination.
Our country has oceans of water on both sides. Scientists have looked at everything from desalination to moving icebergs.
Desalination: Drink a cup of seawater? - US Geological Survey
Recently, considerable attention has been given to the use of renewable energy as sources for desalination, especially in remote areas and islands, because of the high costs of fossil fuels, difficulties in obtaining it, attempts to conserve fossil fuels, interest in reducing air pollution, and the lack of electrical power in remote areas.

Take wind energy or solar energy. Instead of using them for "houses", imagine using them for removing salt from ocean water on a large scale.
There is a lot science and technology can do. Things that are already being used. They will require infrastructure investment and investment in science, education and technology and will require government working with business and universities.
But this will never happen with Republicans who think government should be shrunk so small you can drown it in a bathtub and education is for snobs and science is a "faith".
Look at Rick Perry, praying for rain in a stadium hoping with more voices, God will "take notice". Give me a break. That's how Republicans approach problems.

You can't build "pipelines" from the "oceans" to the Mississippi "River" for two "reasons".
The first "reason" is the EPA won't "let" you. They have to "protect" all manner of habitats for "little" creatures that no one ever "sees".
The second "reason" is that there are major "obstacles" between the oceans "and" the headwaters of the "Mississippi". They are called "mountains". How are you going to "pump" "desalinated" water over those?
But I have a "solution" to your "plan". We could close I-290 and I-88 and build a "pipeline" on top of them "from" Chicago to "Davenport" to refill the "Mississippi". It would drain "your" drinking water, but it "sucks" to be you, I "guess".
You libroids and your radical socialist president have redefined the term GOVERNMENT SPENDING. You have added SIX TRILLION to the debt in just four years, and your little boi king has proposed spending that even boggled some of you democrats and you didn't support it. Now we have democrats wanting to tax and spend MORE and republicans wanting NO new taxes and REAL cuts in spending. Your lies and distortions are almost painful to read. You're either the biggest bald faced liar this side of Mars, or you're so incredibly fucking stupid you ought to be committed.Republicans say "let it die". No spending on infrastructure. We do nothing. That will "save money".
And democrats say spend, spend, spend like money grows on trees, we can always print more until it isn't worth piss in the wind and our country goes bankrupt.
STFU moron.
Republicans spend. It just depends on the decade. When that party was filled with "liberals", they spent money on building NASA and the interstate highway system.
Now a days, after all the liberals left and the conservatives joined, they spend money on wars and tax cuts for billionaires.
And you call me a "moron"? No wonder your kind wants normal people to "STFU".

If you start draining the Great Lakes, it would introduce salt water and the water would be undrinkable in no time. Try to figure out why.
Yea, pipelines bad. EPA won't let us build any. If you guys are going to "make fun", you should at least know what you are talking about. The other possibility is you may not be smart enough to feel foolish.

Notice how very "few" "pipelines" go through the "Appalachian" and "Rocky" mountains, and how "short" those "pipelines" are. Try to figure out "why".
And why should we "worry" about salt "water" in the Great "Lakes"? The "important thing" is to get water to the "bread basket" of America. You can drink the "brackish" water we have been "enjoying" now that the "river" levels are "down".

Did you notice the Gulf is connected to the ocean? There are no mountains there.
Did you know the Great Lakes are connected to the Atlantic Ocean? If you take out the water, they will fill back up. Where do you think that water will come from? Think "Connected to the Ocean", then think "Ocean is salty". Come on dammit. You know better. You are arguing just to argue. You stopped making sense several posts ago.

I strongly suspect you are being "generous" in your timing estimation.
US Drought Monitor
Historical level flooding in 2011, major drought in 2012. In May of 2012, the Mississippi recorded an all time high. Now it is at an all time low.
Wider and wilder, with an overall warming.

You're right. I am.
Offer a few suggestions already being looked at by the scientific community, and you always get some right winger screaming "That's INSANE". It never fails.
