During his campaign, Donald Trump has proposed solving California’s water shortages by diverting water from Canada, specifically mentioning a “very large faucet” that could be turned to redirect water from the north. Trump suggests that this water, which he claims is currently flowing aimlessly into the Pacific Ocean, could be diverted to California, but experts have clarified that this idea is unrealistic and uninformed. The water in question is likely from the Columbia River, which is regulated by the Columbia River Treaty and is essential for hydro dams, fisheries, and other ecological needs in both Canada and the U.S., making large-scale diversion impractical and legally complex. Experts have highlighted the significant financial, logistical, and environmental barriers to such a project, and have noted that California’s water management issues are better addressed through local solutions rather than relying on Canadian water sources.
The resource wars are upon us! Time to make Canada the 51st state!
It’s incredible that a man who misunderstands the most fundamental things about the way the world works would ever be considered a good choice for president by anybody.
After he buys Greenland he’ll have all that ice.
Consume consume consume, no need for thoughtful resource management. It’s the American way.
America needs to stop depleting its underground water sources before the entire farming sector dies.
Since when does Trump care about California?
Promising to annex Canada is probably the only thing this fool could do that could get me to vote for him.
/s… But also, secretly, /g…
Why does Trump not build desalination plants along the coast?’
What are the experts solution for cali water crisis that are local? Frack for water next to the San Andreas fault? Water has been redirected on a vast scale like this since long before trump. Large cities have always struggled for water, since the dawn of man building them. A big pipe as a solution is somehow controversial today, however
Canada here Eh, keep your little orange hand the hell off our water! We are using it for our Tim Horton’s coffee! During hockey season we might let you buy little 500ml bottles for $20 each.
Sparking laughter more like.
Is this a real plan or just a concept of a plan?
Why not go after where the most of the fresh water is located in North America, i.e. great lakes?
