just ship ocean water by helicopter to fill the lake
i dunno
might be costly in fuel and time
but whatever
5 helicopters going at it, with 500 gallon tanks
each tank weighs about a ton right
that's roughly a helicopter lift
5 helis
in a week, they could lift maybe 50 tons of water at least
in a year of doing that, it'
2500 tons of water
so that'd be, 2500 cubic meters roughly
maybe not a lake, but still
it'd help to probably overdo it, because it's disaster preparation
2500 cubic meters per year - in ten years they'd have 25,000 cubic meters
though the helicopters would be working around the clock for 10 years
so maybe get more helis... i dunno
they could build a place that would pump water out of the ocean
maybe with a filter to avoid pumping in sea life
and then ship it by train
lift a lot more that way
maybe in 5 years, pumping station + trucks, dumping water into a lake via a giant sluice
i mean that could get a lot of water in
maybe 40 times as much - 100,000 per year, or 500,000 cubic meters in 5 years
which is about 100 x 100 x 50 meters
there was an estimate on how much it would cost, but a billion a year is a bit of a big ask
so it could be 20 meters at the deepest point, 500 at the widest, and then 50 seomwhere
there was an estimate?
billion a year?
i mean all my idea is one pumping station, though it'd take a lot of power i guess
on maintaining bushlands
also trucks, which are typical
oh maintaining bushlands? well that's obviously different
i think they could just create the evac lake
maybe 1km wide, and the smoke doesn't get to people
depends on how long fires last for too
each boat has its own toilet
you'd have maybe 1000 boats lol
i dunno, seems like an diea
you could fit like 20 people on a small boat
