Well, you are right about the mountains here in the east. When my family moved to Kentucky 20 years ago we were shocked to hear people call these mountains. To us moving here from Arizona and after living in Utah all they have here are mole hills. ;-))
Maybe they can't move that much water from the eastern US to the western US because it would throw the earth off balance. Hmmm, sounds like a SciFi title huh? ;-))
Take care.----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

Tunnels? underground covered canals? Or make it sectional. From the eastern midwest to the further midwest, from flood plains to drout areas. But you're right about the mountains. Although, when we took the train from California to Washington D.C. a few years ago and crossed the beautiful Alleghanies--I don't remember if we went through any Appalacians, my husband, used to the Rockies, scoffed at the idea that those were called mountains--mere hills compared to the Rockies. smile Cindy --- Dan Beaver <dbeaver888@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Cindy, I'm not Shelley but... The problem is that the rain you are talking about is on the other side of a rather high and long range of mountains from where you are. It is terribly expensive to pump water up those mountains to get it to your side. Also, if hyou read closely the Romans moved water by gravity aoong canals and aquaducts. They were plagued with the same problems we are. Sure wish someone would figure out how to get over that gravity thing.----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 5:45 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] OT: rain > Hey, Shelley--can you send some of that rain our way? > I'm afraid that soon we're going to have to restric > how many showers we take and put bricks into the > toilet tank again and not flush. > > If governments can build freeways, why can't they > figure out ways to save unwanted rain and melting snow > and flood waters from one part of the country and send > it to other parts of the country where and when it's > needed.
