President-elect Donald Trump has a big ego, so perhaps he would like to do some big things. This week we shall focus on one big thing Trump should do: Build the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA). NAWAPA, was the President John Kennedy era project proposed originally by the Ralph Parsons Engineering company, based in Pasadena, and promoted in the U.S. Congress for years by Utah Senator Frank “Ted” Moss, a Democrat from Utah. John Kennedy’s brother, Senator Robert Kennedy, before he, like his brother, was assassinated, was a co-sponsor of the bill to build NAWAPA.

In brief, NAWAPA was, and is, a continental water management system that will divert the abundant excess water from the rivers of Alaska and northern Canada eastward and southward, delivering up to 150 million acre-feet of water to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
