Don't even need desalination plants; They could use tidal energy to spray seawater into the air, increasing evaporation and rainfall. They could pump seawater to several valleys below sealevel, and naturally desalinate, but they would have to cooperate with other states. And those are just a few of many possibilities.
- zach_garwood 4y ago> They could pump seawater to several valleys below sealevel, and naturally desalinate Could you explain how this works? Why does the valley need to be below sea level?
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoA few valleys eaat of the west coast are below sealevel. They don't have to be, but piping seawater there would save cost as the water level tries to reach equilibrium. Then they just need to let the hot sun do its' work, and occasionally open the valve. The Salton Sea, CA, e.g. is 38m below sealevel. Another reason to use below sealevel may be safety: Not all cracks and ground fissures are known, and pumping in large quantitues of saltwater may have an undesired effect on groundwater. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_on_land_with_elevations_below_sea_level https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_on_land_with_...
