Historian Walter Prescott Webb argues in Harper's that a 450 mile canal transferring excess river water from the Upper Gulf to the arid Lower Gulf would cost over 1 billion dollars but be completed in stages. It would supply cities and industry, irrigate 850000 acres, and create an integrated water system to meet growing demand.
