Move around some earth to build a basin in an existing valley near the Elbow, and then build a diversion canal from the Elbow. Sounds wayyy cheaper than tearing up Heritage Drive and building a 5+ km tunnel. Plus the Tsuu Tina get some residual income out of it, and maybe we become (slowly but surely) business partners in many ways.

The way they do business we will go through 2 more floods and it will cost twice as much as they tunnel. And every time we are ready to walk away, they will pretend to be ready to approve it.
