If only pipelines were routed through fire prone forests...
80,000 miles of pipe cover America yet never put to emergency use
in pre-lowering river flow ahead of storm surge nor pumping excess
water into drought ridden rivers such as Mississippi stranding barge
traffic during height of drought. Fish migration can be halted by dry
river beds in midst of "controlled" drought. USA don't seem interested
in the "controlling" of any but potable municipal and agricultural water.
Citizens left to mop up excess may wish to click poll...
