A quick google search says Owen's valley is at 4k feet, while LA is at 300. I assume that reversing that would be incredibly expensive, considering the 570,000 acre-feet/year that flows is 1.5 trillion lbs of water.

So, I think it depends on where it's being pumped from/to.

There are mountains in the way though.

We'll just use the same boring machines we'd use for the long-overdue SF/NY Burrito Pipeline.
