Should Coastal States Start Building Desalination Plants to Supply Inland States With Water?

[Ghost in the Machine]

I just read about Lake Meade running dry by 2021, along with the water running out in Georgia and other states.

Wouldn't desalination plants in several cities in each state along the coasts help provide water where it is needed? These plants would also help local economies, and produce jobs also.

What affect would this have on ocean levels? As seen in some global warming studies, and on the show 6 Degrees, cities in coastal states are at risk of being under water because of rising sea levels due to melting icebergs and polar caps.

Wouldn't it be wise to start drawing down the levels now, to avoid such a catastrophe in the future?

Would this even be a workable plan? Could more jobs be created by building pipelines into the inland States that need the water? This is just a thought that struck me while reading about the water shortages, but seriously, how workable is it?

Thanks
