    Would this help the south-west drought? Probably. For a little while, at least.

    Would there be unforeseen consequences? Of course.

    Will it be done? :michael-laugh:

    There will be no preventative solution. The people in charge do not care. They will chide and warn and point to paper deadlines -- right up until people start dying of dehydration. At which point there may be a slap-dashed attempt at humanitarian aid, they may mobilize the national guard or the military. But it I kind of doubt they'll even do that. It will just be Their Fault.

    Their fault for not sharing the water. Their fault for not listening to the warnings. Their fault for living in an obviously doomed city. Their fault for tolerating sodomy. Their fault for being practically Mexican anyway. Whatever it takes to keep this from being seen as Our Responsibility.
