Move the water around the USA!

I was at a lecture last night at the El Paso Art Museum and a good deal of the discussion was focused on the global warming effect at the North and South pole regions.  It's certain that as the glaciers melt, there's going to be leashed an avalanche of water that could engulf the land areas of the world.

I pointed out that Netherlands has offered to show the US, particularly the Army Corps of Engineers, how to deal with the problem of severe flooding, which could also become an opportunity for watering arid lands around the world, if the waterways in the world were more tightly controlled.

Anyway, the idea emerged in discussion, why not pipe water from the areas of over-abundance, where there's problems in what to do with the water, to areas arid and dry?  We pipe oil around the country; why not water?  Right now, from the Mid-West and Atlantic Coast, areas experiencing heavy rainfall, to Texas and Arizona?
