Interesting. But the Arkansas river as it flows east out of the Rockies supplies a number of cities with water. But I don't sense there is a water shortage looming because of it. But population is growing a lot faster along the Colorado River than the Arkansas River. No doubt, the Colorado River will be exhausted before the Arkansas.
There needs to a long aqueduct to move water from the Mississippi River to the Colorado River. It is not impossible. National food production is in jeopardy.

LOL. That would not be an aqueduct from the Mississippi to the Great Divide.
Fortunately, the St Lawrence River watershed (the Great Lakes very much included - they are over 20% of the world's supply of freshwater, and over 80% of North America's supply of freshwater) is internationally protected against such a folly.

Disagree. People should be where the water already is. The areas of the southwest are far to arid to handle the bourgeoning populations growing there. The eastern half of the US has the resources to handle population. If the people that have moved out to the southwest want our water then they need to move back here lol. Phoenix, Vegas, even LA and San Diego and several other cities out there realistically should have reversed population growth.
Lol, don't underestimate the ingenuity of mankind.
Is not as simple as no water = no city.
We don't have wings but that doesn't mean we can't fly.
We bend things to our will; sometimes it works, sometimes we reevaluate.
I know some would like to see a reversal of westward expansion but don't lay all your hopes on the west drying out
I have no desire to see a reversal of westward expansion, but I tend to agree that the ingenuity of mankind needs to be at play if they are to be sustainable. Over the years I've seen several posters on here suggest just piping it from the water rich places these people are leaving. If they want that water they need to move home.
People need to start moving east again. This will be a much worse problem 10 years from now.
