Response to All: In regards to the energy cost. Based off what information!? These are non specific, non geographical arbitrary figures. Let me pose a question can you purchase a drought free earth? How much is the cost of one meter ocean rise? The answer to the first is obviously no. The end result is all that matters.

In regards to nuclear power plant suggestion: What is the most abundant thing in the desert other than sand?? That’s right sun light!! Solar energy Will 100% power this project .

In regards to the aquifer comment: More Rain= More fresh water in aquifers.

In regards to rain fall/flooding you are referencing a regional event. I appreciate your input! I’m not suggesting flooding an area I’m saying that there will be meteorologist , biologists, geologist, scientists , et cetera. To coordinate the amount pumped to run hand in hand with evaporation rates . Would there be flood ? Absolutely it’s going to happen. The end result is what’s most important. They have mangroves that grow in salt water. Is engineering a ecosystem possible? Most importantly I Have Solved the problem for global sea level rise and global drought.

However, if it was put under ground, it would help. Unfortunately in many places there already is water underground, fresh water in aquifers that are being pumped out and then transported to the sea.

As the water gets warmer, it dissolves more salt (from the bottom), increasing salinity & working against you even more.

All that increases your pumping needs, requiring more energy to pump more sea water to overcome the increasing salinity — further diminishing the returns on your evaporation scheme.

The nuclear power plants you’ll have to commission to provide the energy to pump all that water uphill onto the continent is MUCH better spent performing direct desalination.

The only practical way to prevent the seas from rising and destroying all that coastal real estate is to keep it locked up in continental ice formations.

…which our petro-profiteers are madly working to melt away. You’re on the losing end of that battle, too, sadly.

Just imagine: the world’s oceans have a surface area of about 4*10^8 km^2 (3.6, but this is all going to be ball park estimates). In order to let the oceans drop by 1 meter, you would have to pump a volume of 4*10^5 km^3 away. That’s 4*10^17 dm^3. In other words, 4*10^17 liters of water.

Some years ago the La Nina was so strong that a lot of water was dumped on land and remained there for a while, leading to a few mm drop in sea levels. There was torrential rain in several places, primarily the Southern Hemisphere. Just imagine what a factor 1000 extra will do with the water cycle. I think the cure will be a lot worse than the disease.

I don’t think it will work…
