UAE to build man made mountain artificially to improve rainfall
UAE to build artificial mountain to improve rainfall
The UAE is currently in the initial stage of a man-made mountain development project as it is considering various approaches to maximize rainfall.
Arabian Business reports that Experts from the US-based University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) are in the “detailed modelling study” phase, as per NCAR scientist and lead researcher Roelof Bruintjes.
The agency is evaluating the effects of weather based on the type of mountain, it’s height and the slope and they expect to come up with the report of first phase this summer.
Scientists from the U.S.-based University Corporation for Atmospheric Research say they are now studying local climatology to determine the best location for and dimensions of the proposed mountain.
While it does not have experience in mountain-building, the UAE has successfully built an artificial lake — Lake Zakher, in the desert near the border with Oman.
If the project materializes, moist air from the Gulf could climb up the mountainside and cool, while seeding the clouds from aircraft with eco-friendly chemicals would help create much needed rain, changing the local climate.
Good day!
Sorry for the long reply, this is a huge issue, energy and what it can do.
Take the energy gathered from the sun in a large Solar Installation, stick a HAARP on the side of it.
Point the HAARP out way over the ocean/desert high in the sky near or just into the edge of space.
(Way above planes, far below satalites, in a specific band of the atmosphere roughly where Ozone is)
When you activate the HAARP way out in the east sky it will draw moisture from the west sky.
So point it over the desert to the east, it will suck in “some” moisture from the ocean to the west.
It works a bit like that sorry for the unexplained but it DOES work.
Just ask those who already operate these or the MANY confused weather reporters around the world.
They might also be doing it to try reduce the billions on insurance claims annually for tornado,
hurricanes, weather damage in the US. This they did for years publically using aluminium oxide dust could seeding. Otherwise known as chemtrails it is still used legally and patented worldwide.
I’m assuming it also has city air pollution shifting abilities.
You, the moderator. Why not suggest this in a small paper to the right people?
They may laugh at you.. or come back with blessings at you in a few years when
the rains start falling? When the world gasps in awe and claps? The UAE is now
entering a golden sun era of energy increase and move away from burning death.
(Fossil fuel, War.) An abundance of energy will arrise and too much to sell in rising competative
markets. MANY of the world’s nuclear power stations are almost fossils themself.
Soon they will all have to be taken offline and what then? New plants?
Who the hell needs plotonium factories anyway? Nuclear waste…
Sun energy is for a long time good idea but it still generates a HUGE amount of WASTED heat.
The panels collect heat. In some countries like India they employ batallions of water bucket carrying
women and sprinkler systems just to cool the panels down. (conductivity, longevity decreases as
they repeatedly warm up to scorching hot and cool over night?)
The almost hot water running through the panels cooling system is very easy to heat up that
little bit further into steam which could also drive a dynamo-like turbine, adding to electricicty
output to the whole system and maintaining the life span of the panels and optimal operating
temperatures. Tune this and you have astonish perfection.
Ugh… Build a mountain. Surely this is a joke, right?
No. It is not a joke. Because constantly operating lasers or other technologies depend on energy usage and mountain is operable for free forever(almost). I find it amusing but I had long since had similar idea about Northern Africa where building mountains might help same way. Also keep in mind, that mountains also comes with rivers – rain is no enough. Though, mentioning HAARP to this issue IS A JOKE.
2020 , YOU ARE ABSOLUTE RIGHT
Yea OK I love the thinking about solving a problem this big and such an ambitious thought as to build artificial mountains.but if they were to do this, at verry best it brings rain to the region they want it will also change the way weather works around the rest of the globe.so they can solve their problem wile causing unknown problems elsewhere on the planet.it’s all connected.when ever people get involved with things greater than us we get in trouble.
Building a mountain would probably effect the weather. But a study in the Netherlands already concluded that building a hollow mountain around 2km high with average of 45 degree slopes would require the worlds production of metals and stone for 10-30 years.
It wouldn’t even matter which metals you’d use, or which stones or whether you’d go only concrete or only steel or other combinations. a little less volume or a little bigger volume of the mountain. Use a base of only 4km or a base of 14km (less steep). The most optimistic version would be 10 years of full world production of the resource going to 30 years of full world production for cheaper versions or different volume options etc.
The issue wouldn’t even be the costs, if you’d place hotels in and skislopes and sports facilities on and lots of other stuff. Over a time if 50 years it would still be profitable. The building time wouldn’t be problem either if you’d have the resources stored nearby to keep the production going, but building could outpace resource delivery.
So the conclusion was the bottleneck would be the sheer amount of resources necessary for building it. Worldwide production capacity would not be able to be scaled up to deliver.
But nevertheless harvesting water from thin air is still possible. But you’d just do not need to build a mountain for it. Setting up a mash about a km high would be way more efficient:

Knowing the UAE, that mountain will not be a mountain but the world’s largest shopping mall, complete with tennis and golf 8000′ above sea level…..members only of course…at a mere cost of a gajillion dollars a year…not for the riff raff mind you
Am i the only person here thinking don’t mess with nature!!! Chemtrails and human intervention against nature cannot be good! We can’t undo the damage we have done already with chemicals and fake mountains, we need to stop cutting down the rain forests, and stop manipulating weather. It might make the area in concern a better place to be but everything will have a side effect and somewhere else on the globe will pay the price!
Make the mountain out of garbage. That’s what the y did in Korea. It’s not a huge mountain but its big ! They built a really nice park on top it in Seoul, South Korea.
