Someone tell me if harvesting polar ice caps into giants cement boxes and burying them in the ground while they melt into fresh drinking water is a bad idea.
I won't vote for it because I don't want to pay for it, even if it was possible.

China is well aware of this fact and is building large ID pipeline (and needed pumps) to move vast amounts of fresh water from the wet south to the dry north.In China, some places got too much rainfall and caused flood, while other place were hit by draught,
how can we channel the flood water to the draught area for irrigation and processing it into drinking water?

That is a very local irrigation project, smaller than one being built in Brazil (or existing in other countries) but China´s South-North Water Transfer Project is unique in the world – Far larger than any other.In fact they have been aware of it since at least 256 BCE. Dujiangyan Irrigation System

Chinese irrigation is less than half as old as that practiced in Egypt:... But it's 2200 years old, and it still manages to do what Saint was talking about, even if only on a local scale.

I don't recall even suggesting that they were, although I'm not convinced of which is older at this point. Yes, the egyptian examples predate the cited example, but the cited example isn't neccessarily the oldest in China.But you are correct, China was redirecting water locally a long time ago, just not the first to do so.
