Does the U.S. have an emergency water program where areas of the country suffering from flooding or high water can siphon water to other parts of the country in drought; via riverways, canals, lakes, piplines etc? if not, WHY NOT?

Our local leaders refused to consider desalinization because the Dems had a plan to get rich running a pipeline from a lake 150 miles away. Not one drop of water has flowed through it in ten years.
They claimed de-sal wasn't economically feasible.
My town is on the Gulf of Mexico.

Not feasible is The best answer. America is over 2000 miles long and about 1000 miles wide, We have four major mountain ranges running almost the whole width. I believe it took three years to build a continental Rail Road working from California and Kansas together. America is just one hugh motha. Pardon the ebonic expression.

Thats it Tex Blame it on the Democrats......
Some of us at work pipedream about the scenerio of every mile of interstate highway having a pipeline beneath it. This would be like a power grid only in this case water.

They could save a lot of evaporation losses if they would convert all rivers to pipelines and all lakes to huge tank farms.

I don't believe so. Why? because building such a system would be extreamly expensive and not incredibly useful most of the time.
