Augmenting the Great Green Walls
While congratulating the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) on its historical first Global Stocktake, and supporting the efforts to keep the global temperature limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius, how about doing more to support the physical activities already underway to combat deforestation and boost afforestation by supplying sustainable potable water to those efforts and the flora and fauna of their forested areas. To say nothing of the boon it would be to the human beings working the projects and forming communities in the surrounding areas.
Building on dredging lake beds to hold sea water and construction of condensation tents and storage, how about following the lines of the Great Green Walls in Africa and China and the Great Green Wall for Cities initiative that crosses central Asia to connect them? Deploy Sustainable Potable Water projects by finding the most ecologically beneficial areas on the coasts that are near the GGWs. Plot each canal dredging to the respective GGW at the nearest edge that has enough flat and vacant square miles to accommodate the seawater lake, condensation mechanisms, and maintenance and support systems described in the Sustainable Potable Water project.
