Hell it’s already got tons of water anyway but good God is that state awful. It smells, full of crazy wildlife and has few redeeming qualities. It’s also being infested with beaver size nubia rats https://www.ksla.com/2019/06/04/cadd...outputType=amp

An interesting concept would be Idaho. Imagine the fantastic recreational port that the Canadians would have on the border, where people could cruise a couple of hundred miles south along the shore. Would it be a national security issue for us if Canadians were water skiing as far south as the Utah border?
And then on the other end of the massive lake, you'd have Yellowstone as a major tourist port and destination. The more I think about it, a giant Lake Pocatello would be pretty cool. Lake Pocatello would also make Montana and Wyoming a lot more fertile. I think Idaho is a real sleeper choice here.

Without knowing how dropping one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world right in the middle of the country would affect weather patterns and local climates, I’d say Nevada would be the best choice.
As many have said, it’s mostly desolate desert that doesn’t do much to serve humanity. Besides Vegas, I feel like it wouldn’t displace too many Americans or flora/fauna. Plus, California is, I think, our greatest agricultural producer..? I’d have to imagine a massive lake that size so close to the interior of Cali, which is mostly desert itself, would make that land a lot more fertile. Not sure where we’d relocate Vegas, though.. maybe somewhere due South in northern Arizona. |

It would be interesting to study from a planetologist/climatologist perspective. How long would a Nevada-sized body of of water sustain itself? What effects would that have on the rest of the states eastward? Same thing with kansas or Iowa or Nebraska or South Dakota. Does anybody have Liet-Kynes number handy?

There have been a couple of proposals over the last 150 years to create massive lakes in part of the Sahara. Back around 1900, some guy proposed a plan to build a canal from the ocean to Lake Chad that would basically make it an inland sea. And then more recently there has been thinking about doing the same thing with a big depression in Egypt that I think is below sea level. I'm not sure what the advantages of a giant salt water lake would be, though. Maybe it would cool the region down? Add fishery capacity?
It looks like the one in the Qattara Depression was about hydroelectric power where you'd run water from the Mediterranean through a big dam.
