I’m not convinced that the pipeline is unsuited to pump water. Oil and water do not mix. There may be residual oil in the beginning, but I am sure this oil can be skimmed off. Over a short period of time the oil will be removed and all you get from that time forward is “water”.I don't think it would be very cost effective to try and convert the Keystone Pipeline to water. The oil that has flowed through it has contaminate it, and the amount of money it would take to clean it enough to transport water would cost... A LOT of money and time.

In 2013 large freshwater aquifers were discovered under continental shelves off Australia, China, North America and South Africa. They contain an estimated half a million cubic kilometers of "low salinity" water that could be economically processed into potable water. The reserves formed when ocean levels were lower and rainwater made its way into the ground in land areas that were not submerged until the ice age ended 20,000 years ago. The volume is estimated to be 100 times the amount of water extracted from other aquifers since 1900.
Why do you think you deserve one drop of water from the Midwest? The left needs to make the west coast their own country. You want to live where it never rains then you want to steal everyone else's water. I'll tell you what, you stupid loons are why we are paying almost 5 dollars for gasoline when 12 months ago we were paying 2.35. So you can have water from the midwest at 5 dollars a gallon plus delivery charges. Treat it yourselves.Keystone pipeline could transport water instead of OIL

The United States is experiencing the worst drought ever recorded. The west coast is so dry that forest fires are becoming the norm, not the exception. The US West Prepares for Possible 1st Water Shortage Declaration. This water shortage is an historical event with one possible solution.

US West Prepares for Possible 1st Water Shortage Declaration
U.S. water officials are projecting the man-made lakes that store water used throughout the American West will fall to historically low levels and trigger an official shortage declaration for the first time.

US West Prepares for Possible 1st Water Shortage Declaration | California News | US News
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — The man-made lakes that store water supplying millions of people in the U.S. West and Mexico are projected to shrink to historic lows in the coming months, dropping to levels that could trigger the federal government's first-ever official shortage declaration and prompt cuts in Arizona and Nevada.
Colorado River water will cascade down from the Rocky Mountains through Lake Powell and Lake Mead and into the arid deserts of the U.S. Southwest and the Gulf of California. Water levels in the two lakes are expected to plummet low enough for the agency to declare an official shortage for the first time, threatening the supply of Colorado River water that growing cities and farms rely on.

From Shasta to Folsom, shriveled reservoirs show depths of California’s drought disaster
JUNE 08, 2021 05:00 AM, UPDATED JUNE 08, 2021 12:44 PM
Instead of being flush with newly melted snow, Folsom Lake is the driest it’s been in springtime since the epic drought of 1977. Water levels are so low that temporary pumps probably will be installed to help move water out of the stricken reservoir.
Water levels at Lake Oroville have plunged to the point that its giant hydropower plant could be idled for the first time ever this summer,

The US May Be About to Declare Its First-Ever Water Shortage
This coming August, for the first time in its history, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is likely to issue a Level 1 Water Shortage Declaration which would trigger mandatory cuts in water consumption primarily in two states — Arizona and Nevada.
The Colorado River flows all the way to the Gulf of California in Mexico, and it supplies water to over 40 million people living in seven southwestern states, 29 tribal nations, and two Mexican states.

I see a solution to the USA’s record water shortage while finishing the Keystone pipeline to carry water, not oil.
What do you think-?
really, down hill over the Rockies huh? Its uphill from the Mississippi to the continental divide. The answer is fuck no, move out of the desert and buy a a jacket and live where it rains and snows. then you can have water.That’s a good point but if the pipeline route is designed properly gravity could carry the water most of the way.
great idea. Now all you have to do is lay another pipeline from Canada to the west coast.Keystone pipeline could transport water instead of OIL

You know some countries build recharge dams to capture ground water.really, down hill over the Rockies huh? Its uphill from the Mississippi to the continental divide. The answer is fuck no, move out of the desert and buy a a jacket and live where it rains and snows. then you can have water.
???????????????Awww, fire still hasn’t burned you Texas home?
You believe what you want, as far as I am concerned the keystone pipeline needs to be pumping oilI’m not convinced that the pipeline is unsuited to pump water. Oil and water do not mix. There may be residual oil in the beginning, but I am sure this oil can be skimmed off. Over a short period of time the oil will be removed and all you get from that time forward is “water”.
???????????????
This was an idea I got at about 3:00 in the morning. I should of just kept sleeping.
We never plan ahead.. They should have been building recharge dams and capturing groundwater.

Brine is very high salt content. Just needs a goid land fill in remote desert. .But yes it costs a lot. This is a desert. Too many there not enough water you will pay for water. .That or go thirstyWhat his diagram ignores is that it is very energy and manpower intensive, meaning very expensive.
And the brine it produces is highly toxic.
