"Yes, this would require massive pumping stations to lift the water up the Continental Divide at some point (the lowest lift would be 4,000 feet in Campbell, New Mexico, close to Albuquerque), but then it would be all downhill using gravity to Lake Powell or somewhere else on the Colorado above the Glen Canyon Dam."
What's wrong with pumping 900 million gallons of water up a mountain every hour and letting it fall downhill into a series of dams built into mountain valleys?
Imagine how cool it will look when a landslide falls into one of the reservoirs and we get to see footage of a megatsunami wiping out the Colorado basin.
