    I’m sorry, are you saying that a pipeline from the great lakes to Los Angeles would have to go through less mountains than from British Columbia?

      Huh. For some reason I thought you could go around the south end without hitting too much, but yah, it’s probably easier to go down the central plateau.

      Ah well, guess BC is fucked.

        Yeah you could probably find a path through New Mexico and Arizona that’s not too mountainous, like along I-10.

        But really where the US “needs” more water is where all the farms are. The cities don’t use much in comparison. It’s just a lot in a small area compared to the farms distributed in the big valleys.
