Operation OASIS: Reforest Arid Desert Coastlines with Treated Waste Water from Europe

Website: http://www.operationoasis.com
End drought, poverty, global warming, floods, by irrigating and reclaiming the Desert coastlines of Africa and the Gulf's deserts by using the massive waste water generated by the developed countries to fertilize and reforest the coasts using the return ballast of super crude oil carriers. Al Gore et al use ill advised Bad Science in order to Introduce Even More Taxes in the name of protecting our environment. The rest of the world's politicians grab the opportunity of imposing heavy taxes and the people feel duty bound to pay these taxes. For the first time these greedy parasites have found a method of taxing that people feel duty bound to pay. Brilliant!
However, the real causes of global warming are not due to fuel consumption and air pollution. They are due to poor soil management. Stripping away forests and growing monoculture cash crops that impoverish the fragile soils is as old as the deserts themselves. In fact there are ample evidence of impressive civilisations that constructed the pyramids and long abandoned ancient cities, all built by humans that required feeding from the soils constantly removing the nutrients and organic matter until all that was left is sand grains. This folly is repeated over and over again and today is repeated on an unprecedented global scale. The massive tropical rain forests are fast becoming a memory. The deserts are expanding and the rain falls heavily in other places while some deserts no longer experience rainfall for several years at a time.

The real problems we all face today cannot be addressed by imposing taxes upon the people. You cannot tax the relentless sun and the rain clouds! But you can transform them into forests teaming with life, breathing oxygen, causing rain to fall and most of all cooling the planet by shielding the soil from the relentless desert sun.

At present there is an invisible thermal barrier along the hot dry coastline, which can be felt in aircrafts crossing from ocean to land and visa versa. In fact this thermal barrier is utilised by birds as they migrate along the coast without having to flap their wings gliding on the uplifting air currents.

This same thermal barrier also prevents clouds and moisture from crossing over onto the soil and falling as rain. This is the sole reason for the deserts in the first place, remove the vegetation from the coast and it stops raining! The forests in the central part of the continent or island become starved of life giving water and are set alight by lightning and Human's lighting fires further adding to global temperatures. Nasa satellite photographs these man made fires which can be seen peppered on the surface in every continent of the globe.

Moisten the coastal soils while simultaneously replacing the organic material from human and animal bodily waste and we not only transform the sand grains into highly productive fertile soils, we remove the thermal barrier so that rain will once again fall on these parched lifeless lands.

This is a romantic and impractical idea , the cost to transport all that sewerage would run into millions. Then you have the problem of getting it to where it could be used which would be miles inland. Another factor is that this sewerage is also polluted with chemicals. The best way to deal with sewerage is on a local level.

@hablerz It may be of interest to you that we have just learned that Thames Water UK were engaged in shipping waste water from Europe out to Kuwait. Only the war prevented them from going ahead. Also far from being costly, it is far less than 0ne twentieth of the current costs of land based water treatment in the UK. Pumping waste water inland is achieved by using the methane produced by digestion to fuel gas powered pumps. Cost is only the pump maintenance.

@AndrewKFletcher what about utilising the water in the many disused quarries across the uk?

[AndrewKFletcher]

@fj9fl61 Thanks for your comment. The water from disused quarries could certainly be used. However, the logistics of moving water by road or by canal barge would probably be uneconomical and the amount of water we require for Operation OASIS would mean fleets of vehicles clogging up the roads and water ways. Using the water we waste and discharge into the sea is far more practical as it contains nutrients essential for plants and trees to thrive. Using waste water also removes coastal pollution.

Hi Andrew

We need to talk.

Sewage from populated areas could be supplemented with locally-grown marine algae and anaerobically digested to produce biogas to power local machinery and mineral rich fertiliser to grow the trees....

[AndrewKFletcher]

@GregFredome Thanks for your call today. Lifted my spirits somewhat. Was great to hear Richard St Barbe Bakers name mentioned again.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the thermal barrier is preventing rain falling in arid areas. As I said on the phone, I have footage shwing clear blue sky on one side of a hot black tarmac road and a coastline shrouded in heavy mist, which remained there all day. The only place it crossed the thermals from the road was in a wooded area close to the coast.

Andrew, I think you are a modern Benjamin Franklin. If everyone had as much sense, creativity, practicality and kindness as you, this would be a beautiful world.

plants like shit thats for sure!!! i've been pumping direct sewage from our septic tank on some test palms with incredible results.. i planted a royal palm from a seed and watered it with the sewage. and it's 45 foot tall and two foot diameter in 7 years..i have the same kinds of palms that i've planted like 20 years ago that are a fraction of the size of the one that gets the special sauce!!

[kazuza9]

Hi Andrew , great idea u got here, i say sewage water can be stored in large black tanks exposed to sunlight in sunny area and reduce water level by evaporation and the contaminants can be spread in farms. i hvae other ideas too to help reduce contaminated water and sewage waste.. u can email me.. norm

[GregFredome]

If we can't overcome our short-term greed in order to spare our problematic waste, so that the starving can eat and we can save our own skins, then we don't deserve to inhabit the planet. (And probably won't for much longer.)
