Time for Bradfield's scheme?

[sprintcyclist]

Hi Cods,
I agree - we waste too much water in
the Northern Territory.

Indeedy.

Lets start off the 'CodsBobbySprinty' Scheme.

Accept the evaporation will be too high for an open 'drain' from the NT/SA to Lake Eyre.
Accept that a body of water will not hydrate an area 100's of meters from said body.

Start from there.



Do we want fresh water there or sea water?

It needs to be sent in a giant stainless steel pipe
that will last forever.
Pumping stations can be powered by solar cells.

Everyone should expect violent furious opposition from the Greeny types who are against any and all development in Australia no matter what it is.

They are all following the fictional fabricated UN AGENDA 2030 One World Govt farce which requires about 6 billion excess people to be exterminated in a gigantic Holocaust to reach sustainable levels on planet earth. Hopefully the Greenies will go first.

Australia is to become a resource supply for the rest of the world which is why the Greenies want to keep all resources in the ground and want to stop all development as they want Australia to become a primitive agrarian backward cesspool controlled by the Socialist One World Govt.

Now you all know the TRUTH.

I am with it.

Stainless steel or plastic, mostly buried underground?
We can use illegals/criminals for cheap labour

That's right - chain gangs in the desert
to have it done at a low price.
Put criminals to work as slave labor.

Just think in the US they pump oil 100s of kms from Alaska in about 2m diameter steel pipes.

The Chinese would have the whole Bradfield modified scheme up and going in about 3 years and be growing rice in the great North Food Bowl.

I think internally coated steel pipes can be used for water as this would be vastly cheaper than stainless.

I suspect it is a bit fanciful to think solar panels could supply the pumps as they would require a fair bit of power and would run day and night I imagine.

It is a bit like imagining spare power from windymills could power the gigantic pumps on Mal's Snowy 2 Scheme.

But now ScoMo is on the job anything is possible as he will be there for the next 20 years at least.

When will he start the HYDROGEN FUEL REVOLUTION ?

Fresh or sea water ?

Fresh would be seasonal. From the top end. Further to pipe it.
Would be more usable

Sea water would be a permanent supply. From SA so closer.
Would have inherent corrosion problems, have to desalinate it for use.
How can sea water be desalinated when it is 500 kms from any infrastructure?

[Black Orchid]

I honestly don't like the idea of desalinisation. Too many chemicals are required for the process along with even more chemicals to stop fouling and scaling of the membrane.

Eventually they will end up poisoning us. No thanks!

Pretreatment chemicals used for brackish and seawater desalination include pH adjusters, coagulants and flocculants, deposit control agents (antiscalants, dispersants), biocides and reducing chemicals. In post-treatment, chemicals include chlorine, anti-corrosion additives and compounds for remineralization. Cleaning chemicals are also required.
