Chapter 260: Dilemma
"I just said it casually, forget it if it doesn't work! But is the water shortage really so severe in the Land of Winds? ”
Nara Shikamaru asked with a frown.
Temari couldn't help but reply:
"As soon as you arrived in Shayin Village, you encountered a storm, which may have given you a hint of delusion. After a while, you'll know that it's okay in Shayin Village, there is no shortage of drinking water, but if you want to do something else, it's more difficult......"
As long as the water is not too polluted, it is recycled.
Using the power of the ninjas, the Sand Hidden Village barely managed to maintain a delicate balance, but not the rest of the Wind Country.
The actual conditions are so bad, and it is not impossible to plant fruit trees, but in fact, the gains outweigh the losses, and the little money earned will be lost in other aspects.
"Haven't you ever thought about building dams and reservoirs?"
Iruka Umino, who was still a little interested in these topics, asked out loud,
"With the power of a ninja, it shouldn't be a problem to change the terrain a little......"
A very difficult task for ordinary people, a ninja may only need to perform a few ninjutsu.
Daimaru couldn't help but laugh and said:
"It's not surprising that you have this kind of thought, in fact, Sand Shinobi has tried it before, but unfortunately, the sky is not beautiful, it always doesn't rain, and the prepared reservoir has no water to store, and then it was filled by wind and sand......"
"So exaggerated?"
"Basically, as long as the human brain can think of a method, Shinobu has tried. The strength of the ninja is indeed strong, but it is too arrogant to think that they can defeat nature, and every victory we think of will be avenged by nature in the near future......"
"Could it be that you didn't choose the right method?"
"Maybe!"
Daimaru shrugged.
The area of the Land of Wind is larger than the Land of Fire and the Land of Water combined, and if the problem of water shortage can really be solved, sooner or later it will become the strongest in the ninja world.
"In fact, what we can do at the moment is to try to regain lost ground......"
"Reconquista?"
It's as if the sand ninja is really fighting for his life with the sky, but it's not much worse.
"Because of human activities, some oases and water sources have been overexploited and destroyed. It is still possible to restore these places to human habitability, but we cannot fundamentally change the dilemma of water scarcity in the Land of Winds......"
Lack of wisdom or lack of ability are all reasons. If we really have the power to turn the river and the sea upside down, these problems can naturally be solved.
Sakura Haruno, who was listening quietly, sighed and said:
"Obviously the country of rain is raining badly, but the neighboring country of wind is so dry, why is this happening?"
In fact, the country of wind and the country of fire are one in the west and the other in the east, so it stands to reason that the difference should not be so big, but the reality makes people have to accept that fate is sometimes so unfair.
"Probably because the sea breeze from the west and south blows the water vapor of the entire Wind Country to the Land of Rain!"
"Isn't the sea breeze supposed to bring precipitation?"
Nara Shikamaru asked strangely,
"The monsoon southeast of the Fire Nation comes with continuous rainfall every spring and autumn......"
"As you said, it's the monsoon, and it changes direction with the seasons. The country of the wind is not so convenient, the southwest wind is all year round, and the difference between the four seasons is that the wind is sometimes big and sometimes small, with occasional exceptions, and as you can see, it is the latest storm......"
"That's it!"
Nara Shikamaru roughly understands the meaning of Omaru.
The Land of the Wind is too flat to block the water vapor, and the main windward slope is in the Land of Rain, and the "Wind through the Hall" passing through the Land of Wind not only leaves no rain, but also increases the amount of evaporation, taking away the only bit of surface water that there is.
The climate of the country of winds may not be dominated by the oceanic climate at all, but by the trade wind belts, which are closely related to the distribution of heat and cold in the whole world and the rotation of the planet. Due to their limited knowledge, the people in the ninja world did not have the concept of "trade winds" at all, and naturally they did not realize how difficult it was to solve the problem of water shortage in the country of wind.
Even before the Daimaru crossed, in the general understanding, there was always no shortage of water along the coast, and it was a lush and lush.
However, few people realize that some of the world's largest deserts are basically located along the coast. For example, the Sahara in North Africa, the arid Midwest of Australia, southern Africa and southeastern South America, etc.
With the exception of the Taklamakan Desert, which is located in the rain shadow zone of the leeward slope of the Himalayas, the other naturally occurring and irreversible deserts are all coastal areas affected by trade winds.
The land of the wind, which is dry and rainless, is most likely unlucky to be affected by the trade winds, according to Daimaru's observations.
To completely solve this problem, unless you incarnate the ten-tailed human pillar force and pull up a mountain range out of thin air in the territory of the Wind Country as the windward slope of the watershed, you can intercept a little water vapor and improve the water-scarce environment of the Wind Country.
Or merge the Land of Rain, use the power of ninjas to open up rivers to divert water to the Land of Wind, build large reservoirs, build water conservancy, and restore vegetation to lock in water.
But which of these is easy to do?
Such a good thing can only be thought about in a dream, and it is better to be realistic in doing things.
"Is there no way?"
The predicament of the Land of Wind, even Konoha ninjas who know a little bit feel tricky, Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but sigh and asked.
"There must be a way, but well, it's too difficult, and it can't be achieved now......"
If science and technology develop to a certain extent, it can make reverse osmosis membranes, or use multi-stage flash evaporation technology to directly desalinate seawater, plus the power of ninjas, it can greatly alleviate the pressure of water shortage in the country of wind.
But these are what Daimaru can count on? It's better to wait for the Fourth Ninja World War to find a way directly in the Land of Rain.
In today's Shayin Village, the idea of pumping groundwater is more realistic, at least now it has begun to extract a little shallow groundwater.
"Hey, Daimaru, do you really have a way to find water?"
Temari asked Daimaru eagerly.
As long as it's about water, there's no one that Sand Shinobi doesn't care about.
"Don't think about it, Sand Shinobi can't do it!"
Daimaru chuckled and shook his head.
No one in the ninja world has really studied this problem, even the sand ninja, after trying many methods and failing, gradually gave up self-digging, but thought about going outside to grab the land, and then was beaten again and again.
"I thought you really had a way to ......"
"You're overestimating me......"
Daimaru smiled bitterly,
"For decades, there are so many problems in the village that my predecessors have not solved, and I can find a solution to the problem by opening my mouth? Unless there is a ninjutsu that makes it rain in the sky immediately......"
Wait, it looks like there is!
