thank you, the land is suitable for plantation but its not anywhere near perfect condition. Now I take it that dry land must first have a fair amount of 'greenery' to demand rain, or for rain to fall. So lets say the cloud route between water area (A) and designated area forest area (B) is dry, but inside Area (B) lies a fair amount of vegitation, would this substantially increase the chances of rain? or would it require more than just that? MY GOAL (if possible) (clouds)(clouds) >>> (Clouds) heading to Forest/Urban Area >>> (raining clouds) (raining clouds) ^^^Evaporation^^^ ``````Rain``````` ~~Dumped Water~~ _____________Dry Land________________ ----------Forest Area (Some trees, grass, bushes)-------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am wondering if this process is possible? If no, then my next question would be what if the designated area was a full blown forest full of trees, grass..etc. will the chances of rain increase then? Also, I am aware that this process is a lot easier said than done, and if proven. Thank you

Thank you Ophiolite, you are right I see what you mean. So lets not say Seawater because it is salty. But he area proposed for water is further away and not at all adjacent to the forest/urban area. Can I calculate that if put Water in area (A) the clouds produced from evaporation will move on to Area (B) and possibly rain there? thats whats I intend to know, thank you

I have recently learned that its possible to take a dry land bearing hot weaher (assuming its summer) and transform it a green forest that reduces heat in the specified area and surrounding regions. The problem is obviously 'Water'. Some suggested dumping seawater over the land will drive nearby weather. So that got me thinking. I have learned that the atmosphere moves in a more predicable manner, so is it possible to predict that by dumping mass-scale sea water in Area (A) I would gain rain in Area (B)? (I'm assuming it will still require some conditions) So to clarify I get a 10 mile (24 square kms) land in one area for the forest/urban project (B), and then dump LOTS sea water in a different region (A). And by calculating to a certain extent that clouds formed in area (A) will eventually pass by and possibly rain at the designated area (B) that is 10 miles, 100 miles or even more miles away. And lets assume that the proposed forest Area (B) is still relatively dry, how much plantation will be required? Is this possible? The region would be in north africa. And just to clarify my intentions. I am looking to transform a large area (24-square kms) of dry land and transform it into beautiful green hills with lots of grass, trees, bushes, flowers etc... Some suggested that it would take more than a hundred years, and others said it can be done in a few years time depending on water resources. Thank you all
