Et tu, Oklahoma!: Something To Consider: A Front Range Bypass
As it turns out, not only are other countries using canals for the transfer of water, but they're using them to create electricity as well. Here's the story:

So not only could we build our front-range canal to equalize the spring snow melt from the Rocky Mountains, but the land could be put to good use to generate electricity, which would help pay for the cost of the project. Since the entire system would be connected, it would provide an energy spine down the front range that would facilitate energy transfer as we upgrade the electrical grid - all while generating countless jobs. Sounds like a win-win situation, doesn't it?
