In addition to the benefits for the climate, flora and fauna and the ability to compensate for periods of drought and flooding, forest fires, if they occur at all, can be nipped in the bud fully automatically and groundwater reservoirs can be replenished. As this irrigation is quiet and gentle and only ensures moist soils in a controlled manner, it is likely to be more popular than rejected everywhere. As it will even be possible to restore a landscape to its long-lost state, it will be particularly attractive to the indigenous people of Australia and all continents.
The seawater can be desalinated on the move and transported in any quantity to any place where it is urgently needed. The topography of even mountainous regions is irrelevant. It can even be used as an advantage if the best route can be determined by precise readings. Dry riverbeds can also show the way, as the water has already been able to spread successfully here.
Create rivers that can flow from the sea to the highest regions.
As the entire system is to be powered entirely by solar energy, tropical and subtropical regions are particularly suitable. But also can be combined with existing e-grids, where more e-energy is required.
Special containers still need to be developed for this, which are actually mobile (perhaps floating) desalination plants that can be added to as required. The distillation process is particularly suitable for use in tropical regions and can be further improved by thermodynamic effects during transport. According to our own estimates, it is realistic to fill containers with 75 m³ in 20-30 second intervals (depending on the design and number of filling stations) and have them travel self-sufficiently. (With the experience gained, this can then be scaled up at a later stage). See page assessment/efficiency. This will enable to fill a small to middle-sized Water-Reservoir.
In this way, even huge areas, e.g. large areas in Australia, can be supplied with sufficient water. This would even have the seemingly paradoxical effect that where flourishing landscapes are created, flooding would also decrease, as these landscapes are also a water reservoir that only gradually releases the water like a sponge. This would finally solve the main problems that regularly plague this continent. The same applies to many other areas on our planet.
Perhaps the resulting thermodynamic feedback processes could lead to the development of self-regulating biotopes such as rainforests that have a positive influence on the climate, so that gradually, over many decades, less and less water needs to be added.
Biologists also know which minerals are necessary to make the Amazon rainforest possible in the first place. I therefore see no reason why such biotopes should not be planted in large numbers all over the world, especially as they are also capable of supporting commercial agricultural land, or are even a prerequisite for it. Therefore, the areas should remain limited to 10–20 %, as these will always be dependent on artificial irrigation and cannot generate any positive climate effects.
As the entire system is to be powered entirely by solar energy, tropical and subtropical regions are particularly suitable. Thermodynamic processes can be accelerated by the movement. A version in which the inlet of the wind bonnet automatically turns into the apparent wind allows the wind to be utilised effectively, regardless of its direction.
The resulting quantities of pure salt are given to those who have made a living from extracting salt from seawater. What remains can either be utilised commercially, e.g. for electricity and heat storage, or returned to the sea where it was extracted. It is dosed and distributed in such a way that the ecosystem is not affected in any way.
By stationing mobile or permanently installed water reservoirs at critical locations, the development of forest fires can probably be prevented, and automatic firefighting can be made possible, so that a self-protecting infrastructure can be established.
A versatile infrastructure that offers free capacity for the transport of other goods, e.g. agricultural products, which can now be produced in large quantities and shipped in refrigerated containers.
By using modern materials (e.g. lightweight concrete), the costs for the technically sophisticated infrastructure can be kept roughly in the order of magnitude of the installation of such infrastructure for electric railways.
As this irrigation is carried out carefully and only ensures moist soil in a controlled manner, approval should be greater than rejection everywhere. Especially as colonization is usually only worthwhile with the help of such a project. The climate improvement that is taking place elsewhere will also have a direct and indirect effect here: for example, there is no longer any reason to leave one’s own homeland, as huge opportunities are opening up that will generate a great sense of optimism.
