Could anthropogenic saturation with pumped seawater of the porous ground of active sand dune fields in major deserts (e.g., the westernmost Sahara) cause a beneficial reduction of global sea level? Seawater extraction from the ocean, and its deposition on deserted sand dune fields in Mauritania and elsewhere via a Solar-powered Seawater Textile Pipeline (SSTP) can thwart the ...
Pipeline transportation is normally a safe and reliable mode of transportation. The number of facilities per ton-mile transported is much lower than for any other means of transportation. The amount of oil spilled per unit oil transported also is low. Therefore, pipelines represent a small risk to human life and to the environment. However, ...
