>>7670446 (OP)

What you'd want to do is have automated, self replicating machinery do the job. They'd excavate channels and locks by blasting sea water pumped in from the coasts, a well understood and mature technology called hydraulic pressure mining which can cut straight through rock and metal.

You'd want a network of hydrology systems to increase rainfall, and you'd need soil improvement systems as well to mulch hydrated soil and plant pioneer legume forests to nurture the fungal nets, affix nitrates, and turn carbon into the soil.

Eventually you'd want to seal the locks and raise the level of the channels so that they would reverse flow as fresh water rivers.

With excavated soil, the continental shelf could be built up with massive dikes like the world has never seen. Causeways to Tasmania and New Zealand.

I've always had this idea, or run a massive pipeline from the ocean to the middle of the country and build a massive inland sea.

Then have desalination plants to make the water useable.

There would only be a few thousand houses destroyed, not millions. Most of the proposed area is unhabited.

Yes it would take decades, no dount about it.

I would consider it a long term investment. To lower the price perhaps "work for the dole" + prision population to work it, foreign workers like we do at the mines who will work for Chinese salaries

There are already established rail lines between Adelaide and Darwin which will be used to train supplies in.

This would be good, it would create more fertile land for farming in one of the most hostile terrains on the planet, meaning more people could/would live there since there would be more food and more opportunity for settlements.

The idea is to evaporate the sea water with the Australian sun, to create rainfall while greening the desert with pioneer forests which will hold the water and transpire it back out to contribute to a water cycle.

Then fresh water begins replacing salt water as the sod develops across new Australian green belts, and salinity begins to drop.

Aquifers get replentished with fresh water all the while due to pic related, by the way.

The problem is that this is at the scale of the Great Wall of China. This means this is a commitment that might take generations, and there is just no political will to follow through with it.

Too many obstacles, not enough political support. This is only possible if Australia is a Monarchy and the king forced it through.

Darwin to Adelaide is about 3,000 km.
Assuming the new river is 3 km wide to have any environmental impact, and 200 m deep, it would contain 900 km^3 of water. Depending on sources, the surface area of the ocean is about 360,000,000km^2. 900/360,000,000=0.0000025 km or 2.5mm. Therefore if this actually happened, sea levels would drop 2.5mm

200 meters deep? Nigga no.

You'd want to be filling up shallow seas with continual flow inland to replace evaporation.

See >>7671241

Deep seas would be good thermal reservoirs to help cool the outback, but shallow seas evaporate and proliferate life better.

And life proliferation is also important to transfer carbon and water into the soil via ecological cycles.

I think a very limited version of this would be good.

You could run a pipeline from NT to the salt basin of eyre.

You would have a small inland sea, which will quickly evaporate as fast as water flows in, causing more rain in the incredibly dry aussie desert.

This will never happen due to "MUH LAND" from abos.

You have ANY idea what the fuck you are on about?

We are talking about something greater than the Great Wall of China here. And the US army has calculated that they couldn't afford to build something like that with paid labour.

You basically need slavery to come back in order to make the project affordable.

If the entire country was habitable. Our population could be 300 million easy, as we would be able to support them as the deserts would be replaced with lush green.

These towns will be able to be serviced by ports / harvours as the channel will become a vital lifeline.

It will also negate the effects of sea level rising.

Check out the NAWAPA project. For more ambitious and only costs about $1 trillion. Generates income of over $50 billion in 5th year of construction and close to $100 billion per year by the 10th year of construction just from selling water and power.

Economic benefits besides that (increasing farming, new areas for development, northwest passage, etc.) are immense.

Rising water basins are causing a shitstorm in South Australia and costs millions to keep under control.

Isn't middle Aus low lying? You would get a huge lake a canal is one thing a strait is what you drew and the are slightly harder to construct. But sure, fire away.

The Panama canal was economically feasible because its a massive fucking shortcut to anyone wants to go from Atlantic to Pacific or back. No one wants a shortcut through Australia.

The lake essentially becomes an oasis for life in the desert. Pelicans fly all the way from the coast inland to breed.

>>7672797
Won't be a problem if its permanently full year round. Also, what kind of dipshit builds houses (I assume this is the problem you're talking about) in and/or around a flooding area? Same type that builds their homes in high risk bushfire areas?

As someone earlier said, anything will grow where there is water. The rush of water as we flood out the Lake would take most of the salt with it. After a decade or so, start farming

someone hit me with some of the potential "uh oh" unintentional consequences of such a development. Such as the Suez canal essentially solidifying Africa as a subordinate in global trade routes.

I have. It wasn't bad, somewhere between chicken and fish filet by mouthfeel. I hear it's better when prepared with citrus or pepper-blackened.
