Landscape Restoration at Death Valley, California, USA: Macro-Imagineering Industrial "Pleistocene" Landscape

This suggested evaluation is a forecasted future [1] industrial option for transporting rejected desalination
factory brine to Death Valley, State of California, USA. The purpose of this proposal, which would form an
anthropogenically enlarged Salton Sea, is to provide long-term storage of precipitated brine salts that in turn would
foster a flat solar-reflective landscape. This macro-imagineering proposal has additional beneficiation when combined
with additional industrial utilization and downwind climate regime mitigation. The goal or purpose of this macro project
is established, new desalination technologies that produce 1 m3 of brine for every 10 m3 of freshwater derived from
developing photovoltaic and/or geothermal technologies. A previously well-postulated floating desalination scheme for
the spatially enlarged Salton Sea, could produce a maximum of ~44 km3/year of rejected brine that can, in turn, be
emplaced in California’s unsettled hinterland [2]. This salty wastewater disposal proposal is offered as an economically
feasible 21st Century co-dependent hydraulic-electricity grid Macro-Imagineering project.
