Australia Launches Mega Project to End Drought – It Costs a Fortune
About this episode
Ever heard of Australia planning to flood the desert?
They’ve been dreaming about turning Lake Eyre into a giant inland sea for over 100 years!
Imagine canals, dams, and even cities on the shore powered by algae farms.
It was meant to change the climate, create farmland, and maybe even power the country.
Now the idea is back with solar desalination and futuristic lake-effect weather plans.
Dive in to see how Australia’s wildest water dream could become reality!
