My words exactly . I was in New Orleans three weeks ago The first Monday we were there it rained 1 3/4 " in an hour. Somewhere in the South its flooding from October to April. if we can put a pipe line in for oil 2000 miles long why can't we make flood reservoir to collect flood water and pumping stations . California has a lot of waist land . You can dam up small valleys and fill them. Not far fetch its just not oil . A project like this would create jobs and help remedy two problems.
