North American Water and Power Alliance
In the 1960s, a giant river diversion project was proposed that would divert a portion of the north-western rivers of Canada over land to the water-starved regions of the U.S. Southwest and northern Mexico. The giant multinational project, named the 'North American Water and Power Alliance' would deliver roughly 3,870 cubic meters of freshwater per second to improve agriculture in the South. It would require a construction period of up to 50 years to implement the project, and when completed, it would deliver more than 5 times the volume of water than all the desalination plants in the world, combined.
