A new reason to invade Canada

[Vault Maker]

I read this on BldgBlog the other day.

In any case, at one point, Reisner describes something called N.A.W.A.P.A.: the North American Water and Power Alliance. N.A.W.A.P.A. is nothing less than the hydrological fantasy project of a certain class of U.S. water engineers. In fact, Reisner tells us, N.A.W.A.P.A. would "solve at one stroke all the West's problems with water" – but it would also take "a $6-trillion economy" to pay for it, and "it might require taking Canada by force." He quips that British Columbia "is to water what Russia is to land," and so N.A.W.A.P.A., if realized, would tap those unexploited natural waterways and bring them down south to fill the cups of Uncle Sam. Canadians, we read, "have viewed all of this with a mixture of horror, amusement, and avarice" – but what exactly is "all of this"?

Here's the link to the post:

The Canada bit starts just after the 3rd image.

A vast abandoned system of canals, pumps, dams, reservoirs, and massive underground waterways just shouts Fallout. As long as they're mostly bone-dry, anyway.

BTW BldgBlog and it's neighbor Subtopia are frequent fonts of Fallouty wonders.
