If only we could get stuck into a project like this.   All other methods
could be tried as well.  It's not a case of one or the other.   The training
of young engineers alone would be worth the effort.  The whole country could
be greened in a generation or two.  New technologies would come about in the
process and would be sellable.   New types of business could start up and
provide taxable income.
 Providing usable acreage land with abundant water would entice people to
shift from the cities.  So many possible end results.   Just needs vision.
