Chapter 299: Wishful Thinking

Raff looked at the silence below, and suddenly said with some dissatisfaction:

"Let's talk about it all, Akira, you say it first."

The person in charge of the named technical department reluctantly spoke:

"Originally, our reservoirs in the eastern part of the Great Dividing Range could have met some areas, but this year's climate is so abnormal that South America and Central Africa are flooded, while Asia and us are experiencing drought......"

"Stop, I don't want to hear why there is a drought or a flood, I just want to know how to solve it." Raff interrupted the other man's tirade.

Akira smiled awkwardly: "I suggest artificial rain." ”

"Artificial rain?" Raff looked to Carlos, the head of the meteorological department, to the side.

Carlos shook his head and explained, "There aren't many clouds now, even if it's artificial rain, there isn't much rain. ”

"I heard that the desalination technology of the Dongtang people is very powerful, and if we can introduce this technology, maybe we can solve the drought situation in the central and western regions." A high-level executive suddenly suggested.

"If this technology can be introduced, it can indeed solve the drought situation in the country." Akira nodded in agreement.

"I heard that the desalination volume of Dongtang has reached 450 billion cubic meters this year, and they are transforming the desert with fresh water."

"450 billion cubic meters? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

"That's true, you don't believe you can open the Internet and search for it."

Many high-level laptops searched for it, and they immediately realized that they were sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Looking at the figure of 450 billion cubic meters, everyone feels the power of Dongtang seawater desalination technology.

It is important to know that the total water resources of Tuao are only 343 billion cubic meters, and the amount of surface water and groundwater resources that have been developed and utilized is 17.5 billion cubic meters.

There are three characteristics of water resources in Tuao.

The first is that the total amount is small and the per capita share is large.

According to the statistics of 153 countries and regions in the world by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, Turkey and Macao rank among the top 50 with a per capita water resource of 18,743 cubic meters, making it a country with relatively abundant water resources.

However, with a land area of 7.6 million square kilometers, the total amount of water resources is not much.

The second is uneven regional distribution.

Two-thirds of the land area of Tuao belongs to arid or semi-arid zones, and precipitation is mainly concentrated in the narrow strip where the eastern mountains, plateaus and valleys meet.

The central and western deserts, which cover one-tenth of the country's land area, receive less than 250 mm of precipitation per year.

Most of the six rivers in the territory are seasonal rivers and are also distributed in the precipitation concentration zone.

The Great Artesian Basin in the central part is rich in groundwater and has the largest source of groundwater in the world.

Although Australia's water resources are unevenly distributed, they match the layout of the national economy, so the contradiction between water supply and demand is not tense.

The third is the uneven distribution of precipitation within and between years.

Precipitation in Tuao is mainly concentrated between winter and spring, with two-thirds of the annual precipitation accounting for from May to December, which is a flood-prone period and a water storage period.

Precipitation also varies greatly from year to year, with successive wet years and dry years recorded, and the dry performance is particularly strong.

This uneven spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation determines that they must build water conservancy projects to ensure the demand for water resources for economic and social development.

So far, nearly 400 reservoirs have been built in Tuao, with a total storage capacity of more than 80 billion cubic meters, and have a strong water storage capacity.

In short, the relatively abundant water resources and small population make the water problem of Tuao not prominent.

However, with the increase of population and economic and social development, the potential impact of over-exploitation and utilization of water resources in local areas has gradually emerged.

New water allocation, water quality problems in major rivers, secondary salinization of irrigated areas and irrational exploitation of groundwater are of increasing concern.

And this year's drought has brought their reservoir levels below the warning line.

If seawater desalination technology can be introduced, it will be of great help to the development of their animal husbandry and planting industry.

After listening to this suggestion, Raff is also thinking about the introduction of desalination technology.

"Mr. Raff, I think the introduction of desalination technology is necessary, in recent years there have been frequent extreme weather in the world, and there may be frequent dry climates in the future, so it is better to plan early." The head of the meteorological department, Carlos, advised.

"I know, but this desalination technology is a bit cumbersome." Of course, Raff knew that the desalination technology of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was very powerful.

But the problem is that this thing needs to be replaced every four months, although the overall cost of this film is not high.

However, Dongyin Water Group does not allow any foreign desalination plant to hold excess desalination films, and these desalination films are used to be scrapped quickly, and they are allowed to be shipped from Dongtang to be replaced.

Even those desalination films that have been scrapped must be transported back to China by Dongyin Water Group for destruction.

In addition, the desalination plant is also responsible for the production management of Dongyin Water Group, and the local government has no right to manage the plant, and the plant must be tax-exempt.

These are all proper overlord clauses, and other conditions are acceptable to Raf, but the condition that the desalination film cannot be stored cannot be accepted by him, and neither can he accept the Turkish and Australian parliaments.

Once this condition is accepted, the consequence is to look at Dongtang's face.

As one of the doglegs of the rice grain family, Tuao is notoriously hostile to rabbits, of course, this may have something to do with the rabbits that are flooding their country, and you know the situation of hating the house and Wu.

"Unless they promise to allow us to stock up on desalination membranes for about five years, the council won't agree to that." Raff said helplessly.

"Gree......" Carlos was speechless.

Please, now we are begging others, not Dongyin Water is begging us, how can we have the qualifications to bargain.

"Mr. Raff, whether the council agrees or not, we must type the report, otherwise it will be a dereliction of our duty." Akira reminded.

Raff nodded:

"Akira, you are responsible for writing the report, and then we will jointly report it, and this matter will be handed over to the council masters to have a headache!"

Soon the water department and the meteorological department jointly signed a proposal to purchase a desalination plant.

As Raff and others expected, the council lords suddenly quarreled about this matter, and those who were opposed, agreed, and neutral expressed their opinions.

The opposition was so strong that the proposal was put on hold in the end.

And Raff's water department also has an excuse to face the complaints and complaints of the people, anyway, I proposed a solution, but the council lords do not agree, you go to them!

As for Raff's shirking of responsibility, the parliament is bitter and cannot speak.

Everyone knows that Dongyin Water's desalination plant is a double-edged sword, which can cut through thorns and thorns after use, or scratch yourself.

It is equivalent to the Sunflower Treasure Book, if you want to practice divine skills, you must first go from the palace, and every aspiring country will not practice this "Sunflower Treasure Book".

As for some of the existences that eat and wait for death, they don't care about practicing the Sunflower Treasure Book.

For example, in the southern African countries of Heizhou, they have signed a contract with Dongyin Water and handed over all the domestic tap water supply to Dongyin Water.

In order to give an explanation to the people, the Turkish-Australian parliament could only pretend to let Raff lead a team to Dongtang to negotiate with Dongyin Water to introduce a desalination plant.

As for whether it will succeed or not, it is not up to them to have the final say, maybe after a while, there will be no drought in the country, and the task they give Raff is to delay as much as they can.
