How about @#*$ no. It's called the Great Lakes compact and the Great Lakes Charter. You won't get a drop from us. Nor will you get anything from the mid-west basin. It's not our problem you built a city in a desert and didn't manage the water properly. You created the problem. Now deal with it. Get rid of the lawns, stop growing crops that need more water than the environment can provide sustainably, build better mass transit to cut back on pollution, stop expanding outward, retrofit existing infrastructure (mandatory water conserving shower heads...make it illegal to sell any that aren't and make it illegal to ship them to california and attach a big fine to companies that do, turn off park fountains, recycle wastewater back into the aquifer, etc), etc. There's plenty you can do now to stop the problem. Bottom line. You won't get a drop from the great lakes. The residents here surrounding the great lakes will tell you to take a hike.

Submission + - Scientists discover meaning of life through massive computing project! (wikia.com)

Rabbit327 writes: In a stunning announcement today scientists have announced that after millions of cycles of computing time on some of the largest super computers that they have discovered the meaning of life. On April 1st 2015 at approximately 03:42 GMT scientists discovered that a long running program had finished. The results stunned scientists who were having tea in the other room when the alarm went off. According to the scientific team the answer was stunning yet confusing. Quoting one scientist "It's amazing. It worked! But what does it mean?!? For heaven's sake we spent all this time calculating the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything. This is the answer we get?!? This is the bloody answer we get?!?!??!?" after which the scientist promptly threw a keyboard across the room. According to inside sources the answer given by the computer was "42". What this means will be announced later according to a research representative.
