That certainly was the fear being taught in the 60s at the University I attended in western Canada. The suggestion was that there were secret plans afoot to move water from Canada to the SW USA through the "Great Rocky Mountain Trench". Dams, it was suggested, were being strategically placed along this trench to support that plan.

It's been discussed here in Washington State as well.
