Making a forest in the desert.
 

Flowers, small ponds, birds in the desert sounds ridicules, this article will guide you to another opinion.

There where water is disappeared you will find ultimately nothing but rocks and or sand.
To reverse this into the original situation you need tree things, energy, water and seeds the births will follow automatically.

The ultimate source of energy is the sun and in desert area’s there is lots of it so that’s solved.

To make fresh water you need polluted or salt water, there is enough in and around the desert so that is solved as well. We are going fast, all we need now is seed and the problem is solved.

This is not about fun this is not unrealistic this is about the narrow minds of scientists.

These folks are educated with the idea that the sun delivers per sq meter per day just enough energy per day to boil 12 litres of water at 30 C. So they build in 1860 the first solar-still (device to produce fresh water) and did not modify it since then. In the solar still there are several processes going on into one and the same area, essentially evaporating and condensation, scientifically spoken water and fire since the first needs energy and latter need to get rid of it. So such systems can’t be effective since the idea is wrong.

Split up the condensation and the evaporation in two chambers and that problem is solved.

Adjust your mind and see the original sq meter in front of you.

Build a glass house of one CUBIC meter and look at the cube your eye will see tree sides of the installation and so will the sun; it will shine directly on tree sq meter surface. On the shadow side we will place two mirrors (sheet with aluminium glued on it) and now the sun is heating from 5 sides the cubic. Now there is enough energy available to heat up at least 40 litres of water. And now we are also more cost effective then ANY available water production technique. The water quality is more then perfect and compared to RO splendid. Ro is seawater without salt but with the pollution left by vessels and industry.

Ten meters from the installation we will put a sheet of PVC below the sand, make some small holes put some earth and a few seeds in it and pump the water under the sheet drip by drip with no chance to evaporate. After 5 years none of the installations will work anymore since the shadow of the threes does hamper the efficiency of the installations. We will collect and replace them to the last desert since they are designed to work for at least 20 years. Will the trees die because the water installation is not longer there? No since each raindrop will be saved by the soil and the roots of the forest so it will not longer evaporate.
