Has anyone ever given any thought to trying to capture all the floodwaters that seem to be increasing lately, and moving them to the more drought affected areas?

As I understand, desal tech is available though it’s prohibitively expensive, both in terms of acquisition and operations.
Be willing to bet the areas affected by severe droughts would happily try to cover it
To be clear it’s ‘prohibitively expensive’ on a governmental scale.
There’s so few places that have that combo of “not enough water” and “large amounts of wealth” that desalinization just isn’t used a lot.
