I don't know but that doesn't solve the flooding problems.

As far as trying to move all this water after a flood has happened I would think that a system could be set up to start catching rain water as soon as it starts raining. Meteorologists have a pretty good idea when there is going to be a little rain or when there will be enough rain to cause devastation. A rain water capture system should be able to be turned off and on.

Of course this would be a huge project and would cost possibly trillions of dollars. But IMHO, our government wastes so much money on things that really don't help anyone. And I agree that it would never get done because of the politics involved.
