We need to find a way to relocate the excess water from the Missouri river to where it can be used in California and Florida to put out the wild fires. The excess then can be stored in the various reservoirs in the western US that have dropped during the recent dry spells or pumped into aquifers that have been largely depleted.
This is not a new idea, even for me. Nearly every time we get major flooding in one area and dry spells or wild fires in others, the same thought occurs to me.
