Sure....for awhile.....then you're going to have problems.

to the land has found the ground becoming unsuitable to crops, so then

So in the end, the desert will once again be desert....so what's your point?

See, trying to create an artificial ecosystem isn't likely to produce a long
term viable ecosystem. If for no other reason than because it lacks the
necessary natural cycles to deal with the accumulation of undesirable
products. Such as salt, which exists in the water you're dumping there.
Without enough water to pick up that salt and flush it into the rivers and
streams and then out to sea.....eventually you will have excessive salt in
your soil and it's going to impact your ecosystem.

Welcome to reality.

We created an artificial growing environment, but because it lacks the full
depth of a natural system....it can exist only temporarily.

You definition of natural is "chance", and simply a spin on probability
and statistics, I see nothing sacred about terra-forming other planets,
other than it would break your definition of "natural."

Today is simply a "screwing-up" of the "natural world" which existed
millions, hundreds of thousands, or even just thousands of years ago --
such as when the nile valley was tropical in nature with serious
rainfall (proof in the water-weathering of the sphinx.

You sweat insignificant detail and attempt to set scale on your own
personal definitions of "natural" or other imagined benchmarks of yours
-- indeed, you are the perfect example of what is wrong with letting
delusional "green people" a voice in human activities.

Maybe, but it WORKS, and it has for a long time.

Where as what we create by artificial means hasn't stood the test of time.

Is there a point in here somewhere?

Still waiting for you to make a point.

IOW, no point, nor can refute the point I've made.

Yeah, you are just another imbecile that likes to mouth off, no facts,
no research, can't back up their mutterings with real sites, etc.

But then, we already knew that ... perhaps you didn't ... roflol
