This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure of the feasibility. Wouldn't the salt water lake simply keep increasing in salinity as the water evaporated? I know that desalination is mentioned in the article, but it's unlikely to be efficient solution to this since it is either very expensive to build (reverse osmosis) or requires lots of input energy. Also, salt water is more corrosive so pipeline components probably won't last as long changing the economics of the project.
