   What are these problems? I’ve asked (many) geologists and the best answer they come up with is salt seepage into the aquifer if it’s not done right, and a temporary increase of seismic activity due to relaxation from the added weight. Look,

   If you like projects check these out: 1. You can drain the mediterranean. It’s simple, really. Plug the straight of Gibraltar up, put a lock system for continued shipping, and, slowly, the sea will evaporate away. That’s insane! 2. You can

   While the ecosystem is vast, being probably about a million square mi., the flooded region and surrounding area is small. The mountains would trap the moisture locally. So even three, four mountains over the desert would be untouched. As to

   I wouldn’t have it filled with river water or agricultural run off, but with ocean water. Nor would it be shallow.

   Sure. But you could have picked anyone of hundreds of other artificial lakes already in California. Ones that are deeper, with clean water instead of runoff. You could also compare it to the Dead Sea, another body of water with no outlet.

   Ultrasonic foggers would also increase the amount of salt in the air, so you’d have to run them far out in the sea. Instead, flood Death Valley with ocean water: 1. Massive evaporative potential. 2. Moisture trapped by tall mountains replen
