Summary
Topic background – In many arid regions, water resources are scarce due to the low rainfall. Scarcity of water leads to lowered agricultural productivity and impairs the health and wellbeing of the population. This situation is expected to deteriorate due to climate change, growing population, and agricultural activities. Desalination techniques are available to produce drinking water, however they do not solve the root cause of the problem i.e. a lack of sufficient precipitation. To make more freshwater available, we propose a novel approach that aims at restoring the local water cycle sustainably. Counter-intuitively, restoring the water cycle requires additional evaporation of water, to lower the condensation level in the atmospheric boundary layer, which turn is expected to give enhanced water precipitation in the watershed making more water available. A restored water cycle can sustain itself as the evaporated water returns as precipitation within the watershed.
