This is Troy's next step: convincing their tax base that this is a worthwhile goal. I assume that there might be options such as government/private sector grants or funding. Obviously a Moscow area reservoir would take a tremendous effort and much creative planning. Once a decision is made that a reservoir is feasible, I suppose the next step would be to figure out the funding. And that is certainly beyond my scope.
