That would require quite a desalination effort unless you could get it<br>
to rain oceans. -- Thomas</blockquote>

Yeah, inland salt water storage might save some beaches -- cities even. <br>
<br>
Rainfall in what region? With a steady wind from ocean to mountains advection
effects might be predictable. Perhaps such natural circumstances could be
found, otherwise one would have a big furniture rearranging job. Preparing
a sea bed seems a mammoth undertaking for starters. I'd hate to see fresh
ground water polluted with salt. I think the prospect of irrigation water
provides a major incentive. -- Thomas<br>
