Inspired by the idea of filling the San Francisco Bay, I pose this question: Under what circumstances could the North American Water and Power Alliance and the Soviet Northern River Reversal projects proceed to completion? What might be the social, economic, and political effects of them?
NAWPA would have diverted water from Alaska and the northern Rockies in Canada to the more arid regions of North America, including the currently parched Colorado River basin.
The Northern River Reversal would have seen rivers flowing into the Arctic from Siberia diverted for irrigation of the dry, Central Asian steppe.
