Solving the California Drought!!!

Okay this week, the Midwest and East Coast have been hit with record snow and rain, again! I think I have the solution to our drought. Why don't they, the powers that be, build a pipeline from the Midwest since they get all of the rain and snow. They want to build a giant pipeline to move crude oil from Canada to Texas, so if that can be done, why not build a giant reservoir, in the Midwest somewhere and then when it fills up from all of the rain and snow, build it so that it hooks up to this giant pipeline that goes to Southern California. Bim! Bam! Boom! Drought solved!!! They could also build one from Arizona. Arizona gets a LOT of rain, so much so during the monsoon season that they have to build lots of runoff tunnels all over the cities to avoid flash flooding. One time when my ex and I lived in Arizona, we were going sight seeing but it a huge storm rolled in and we could not see 3 feet in front of the car. We had to pull over in a parking lot and wait for the storm to pass. There were just sheets and sheets and sheets and sheets of rain falling. They got something like 4 inches in 1hr. So instead of bitching about the drought, lets solve it. There is water out there, all we have to do is get it from the Midwest or East Coast here to California. Buffalo NY received almost 8 feet of snow this week. Another way to solve it would be to build more desalination plants in Calif. We live right next to the Pacific Ocean. There is no reason why we should ever NEED water. There are BILLIONS of gallons right there for the taking and desalinating. hahahaha DUH!
