    I once climbed an 800-foot desert dune -- didn't go up the face but along the ridge with the shallowest slope. It was different than climbing a coastal dune; the sand is actually more slippery in the desert due to the grains being rounder and smoother, which makes them slip more easily. But that very slipperiness makes them more fun to run down!

    Why can't that excess heat be used to power generators, producing even more electricity? Collecting it may be as easy as running a thin pipe system around the solar cells, fill with a liquid that can then either be used directly or used to heat water to turn a turbine. It should save heat stress on the panels too, making them last longer.

    Wisconsin is home to some of the highest-quality silica sand in the world, particularly for fracking purposes, due to its unique grain size, roundness, and hardness. Wisconsin's sand has become a critical resource for oil drilling operations, particularly in the Middle East and other regions involved in shale oil extraction. Wisconsin Proppants, Superior Silica Sands, and Hi-Crushis ship their sand to Saudi Arabia primarily for use in the oil and gas industry.

    The most amazing thing about sand is that this commodity is in high demand. A lot of sea side tourist areas are continually losing their coastline and are in constant need for regular mitigation. For example New Jersey annually trucks in several hundred cubic yards of sand to replenish the loss. According to one source in the US: Beach erosion is a national problem as 80 to 90 percent of sandy beaches are currently eroding at rates of only a few inches to over 50 feet per year along the outer coastline of Louisiana, the erosion “hot spot” of the United States. Hence, this excessive sand can be purchased as valuable commodities globally.

    Why would water pumped from dug wells in sand be salty? Because this desert must have been a Sea/Lake that dried up.

I can see the places where the pipes are buried and I assume a drip-diffusion system for the tree lines and something for the grass areas but where is the water coming from and what is happening in that place as the water is drawn off?

    The Chinese should try regenerative farming. You dig swales and other water channels; it takes advantage of the seasonal rains, and can eventually raise the water table. It’s been used successfully in Africa, India, Australia and the USA.

    • @traildude7538
      @traildude7538 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That doesn't work when the surface is deep sand in dunes that move -- the surface needs to be somewhat stable and the material has to be able to actually hold water. In desert dunes where there's only 1.6 inches (4.2cm) of inches of precipitation a year, swales and water channels aren't going to work well, especially when the wind will erase your work in a few months.
      I've read of places where there are efforts using wood chips mixed with composted sewage to stabilize the surface: five or ten centimeters of the mix get spread and then tilled into the sand, the compost and wood chips hold together and work to freeze a dune in place. They're also supposed to absorb moisture and provide nutrients. I'm looking forward to seeing how those work out.
