Bringing in the Rains

prevailing winds on earth

We make it rain in the deserts. It rained while i was in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. There is a man-made lake where they play water sports like the Formula One H20 and jetskiing. Warm, moist air moves over the bodies of water and water vapor rises into the atmosphere. As the water vapour rises, it cools and condenses into liquid droplets. Condensation releases heat into the atmosphere, making the air lighter. The warmed air continues to rise, with moist air from the ocean taking its place and creating more wind.

We have to create more lakes and rivers and estuaries that connect to the seawater to bring in the rains. As you can see in the map it is an integrated development. Deserts are dried out oceans okay. Man-made lakes in the Middle East would benefit themselves. Man-made lakes in the Gobi desert would create Northeasterly winds that would bring rains to China and the Middle East. The sand like any soil is permeable so we have to determine its water table. Lakes in the outbacks of Australia will benefit themselves. Man-made lakes in the Saharan desert would benefit Africa. You get the idea.
