But as sure as the day is long, there will be a need for water in the cities. So maybe it can happen. 2024 Skeeter FXR-L, Yamy 250 SHO

If you own acreage on that map of proposed reservoirs I would be selling sooner than later because between now and 2050 its gonna happen.

This IMO is certainly attainable with AI and future technological advancements. Let's move water to areas of need from the areas of excess. WORK HARD.....FISH HARDER!

That one would have been less than 15 miles from me. I remember the Greater Caddo Lake Association of Texas fighting against it.
