Stopping the Yellow Stone Super Volcano

So i think i can stop the Yellow Stone super volcano by shoving hollow rods underground and then the lava goes up and the lava is drained from the volcano. do you think it will work?

I don't think it's stored in a depository, but is part of a vast underground network which can flood new lava into the system. More research needed, but I think

>"For the first time, we have imaged the continuous volcanic plumbing system under Yellowstone," first author Hsin-Hua Huang, also a postdoctoral researcher in geology and geophysics, is quoted by a University of Utah statement as saying. "That includes the upper crustal magma chamber we have seen previously plus a lower crustal magma reservoir that has never been imaged before and that connects the upper chamber to the Yellowstone hotspot plume below."

>"But now a second, much larger reservoir of partially molten rock has been discovered by researchers at the University of Utah. There's enough magma inside, they say, to fill the Grand Canyon more than 11 times."

"Contrary to popular perception, the magma chamber and magma reservoir are not full of molten rock. Instead, the rock is hot, mostly solid and sponge-like, with pockets of molten rock within it. Huang says the new study indicates the upper magma chamber averages about 9 percent molten rock — consistent with earlier estimates of 5 percent to 15 percent melt — and the lower magma reservoir is about 2 percent melt.
"So there is about one-quarter of a Grand Canyon worth of molten rock within the much larger volumes of either the magma chamber or the magma reservoir, [postdoctoral researcher and co-author Jamie] Farrell says."

Ho

So you'd have to siphon rock also, which I'm sure's not going to happen. Maybe try a crane system and make a HUGE mountain out of the extracted material. Holy shit that would be epic

Where the hell are you going to get that much water

It's pretty close to the ocean, right?

It's well over 600 miles, and more importantly, over 8000 feet above sea level.

What about a giant funnel to collect rain

Best idea I've read so far
