Rivers and ditches bring the earth’s fresh water into the sea. Without a return flow, the sea level rises. The dikes cannot hold the water in the long term anymore.
What can we do to stop sea levels rising? It is not enough to fight climate change only through prevention. We need to stop taking drinking and industrial water out of the ground only to dump it into the sea after use. To replenish the groundwater and return it to a normal level, we take water from the sea.
At the fields, the water is desalinated only to the extent that is needed on them, with the remainder being transported via the existing drinking water pipes. At households, which represent only a limited share of total water consumption, this water can be purified to drinking water quality. This prevents wells from further lowering the groundwater level. Using satellite technology, minerals and plant protection agents can be added to this industrial water so that the plants and microorganisms in the soil are nourished and kept healthy exactly as they need. This also means that the groundwater is no longer polluted by overfertilization, because the plants are nourished via the leaves. This adjustment of the useful water increases the performance of the irrigated fields with less effort.
Several patents have been filed for this. It must also be ensured that used water is returned to the source with the same quality and temperature. This is particularly important in industry use to maintain or even raise the ground water levels. This is a simple measure to optimize the cycle between the oceans and the earth, so that the climate is coherent and people’s food sources are secure.
The use of new technologies and healthy water management already make it possible to increase the yield of all cultivated land. This will continue to be necessary with a steadily growing population. Therefore, we must act as early as possible to continue to feed our world.
We have found a unique system to solve the water problem!
We are able to take water from the oceans, bring it to households and desalinate it decentralized at each house connection to upgrade it to drinking water quality. This would result in the lowest total costs for such a system, which according to an estimate would be around 10,000€ per house connection (depending on the number of people living there).
In addition, the seawater is brought further into the forests and fields to irrigate them. This is very important because only moisture creates the right soil fermentation to form new humus and thus bind CO2. If the soil dries out, the bound CO2 can be lost to the air, which is why it is of utmost importance to constantly supply the fields with moisture. With sufficient moisture and humus, the soil stores CO2 as the plants assimilate. 1 millimeter of newly formed humus can store 6-10 tons of CO2 on each hectare of land. This can happen every year on every hectare of land!
Wastewater must not be disposed of in rivers or seas in an uncontrolled manner. In the same way, groundwater must not be allowed to be extracted without oversight. This serves the environment as a whole.
In the approaching hydrogen economy, no fresh groundwater shall be used for electrolysis, but only wastewater and surface water from the oceans that has already been used. In the same way, no other industrial sector should extract and consume groundwater free of charge anymore, but must also obtain it from the sea. Through this cycle, the earth’s groundwater can be protected as drinking water for all living creatures, food sources can be secured and clean breathing air can be restored. Thus, it is possible that the next 100 generations and more can survive on our planet. Clean air, clean food, clean mobility and clean drinking water make life worth living again for all living beings.
Only in a clean river, as shown below, can healthy life thrive.
The absolute annual CO2 sequestration of the different areas can be calculated using the distribution given in “Land use” multiplied by the emission per hectare and year.

Comparison of current CO2 sequestration and possible CO2 sequestration under ideal conditions (in tons per hectare and year):
*This value is averaged over all forest areas. Due to drought and intensive forestry, CO2 sequestration is limited to about 6 tons, but under good conditions it can amount to 12 tons of CO2 per hectare and year.
**Currently there is no humus build-up on arable and forest land. However, by changing agricultural and forestry processes, this can be promoted so that about 6 tons of CO2 per hectare and year are sequestered.
By changing agricultural and forestry practices, about half of the carbon currently emitted can be sequestered. By reducing emissions by 50%, Germany can therefore become CO2-neutral.
A human consumes an estimated 3.7 tons of oxygen per year directly and indirectly. In Germany, this is a total of (3.7 t * 83.1 million) = 307.5 million tons of oxygen. The absolute annual oxygen production of the different areas can be calculated by multiplying the distribution given in “Land use” by the production per hectare and year.

Note:
It is currently assumed that the energy from photovoltaics will also double through a doubling of land use.
According to calculations by KIT, between 1158 TWh and 2482 TWh of energy can be generated per year by using all available roof surfaces in Germany. That would correspond to two to five times today’s total consumption.
