The Gobi desert is at an elevation of 1580 meters or most of five thousand feet. Yet it is a natural inland sea. So just how do we fill it with sea water which would soon fix everything naturally.
Better yet, cover the place with solar panels with underlying water trays and pump sea water in to keep them filled. not great, but completely doable. and will obviously cool the sand and encourage grass establishment. Keep this infrastructure overhead and we can maintain rotational grazing.
All this should send humid air downwind to extend the grassland and ultimate tree cover.
That is still an awful lot of water to pump uphill, however, not all needs to come from the distant ocean. Some surplus can come out of the Hbimalyas where plenty today is generally wasted. This may even be enough.
The area of interest is 1298 million sq km. The water thickness needs to be perhaps ten centimeters which turns into a lot of sea water.
A plan like this could power the entire process of properly rerouting fresh water from the Indian monsoons and allow a massive population.
China and India are the world’s two most populous countries. They are also burdened with two of the most famous ‘hot’ deserts – the Gobi desert in Mongolia-China and the Thar desert in India-Pakistan. China’s soil erosion is the most serious of any country in the world, and an estimated 400 million people are now being moved in order to secure more arable land for farming. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual youtube channel!
