Sea water farming the future of Farming in Thirsty Somalia

Specialist form the University of Arizona and Eriterian goverment set up an embryo projected using sea water in 2000
they dug a channel from sea inland and used this water to nurture AquaFarming of fish Ponds and lucrative shrimp farming which they export to Arabia and EU.
the afluent from the Farms were used to irrigate Sarcornia fields and Mangrove forest. which produce seed for human consumption, oils for theorized biofuels and Carbon storing Roots which if plowed under to squester Carbon in the soil to eventually allow for the cultivation of other crops.

the water from the sea is evoporated naturally to leave being pure NACl (salt) which is used in alot of things industrially. the water is eventually returned to the sea clean then it originally was.

the products of the mangrove forest are leaves for use as Folder for livestock, create scenic beauty, they cool the surround region and take up Carbon from the air thus reducing Global warming.

so my question is if this process could work in Eriteria it had a few donars and specailist most of the labor was provided by Eriterians so it was cost effect. do you thing it could work in Somalis which has the largest coast in Africa.

just imagine turning the Gubban, the Raas Asir, the Mug coastal plains and the sand dunes of Banadir green.

There were recent reports that the mountains that are close to Bosaso and also those in Nugaal have Geothermal springs where if they are tapped into could turn the whole area into a greenish pasture. These are not sea water as in the case of Eretria but actually natural Geothermal springs that throw the waters contained in the mountains upwards. I beleive they were French experts who conducted this research few years back who came back with these findings. Definitely, Somalia has the potential of any thing imaginable but lacks one thing that it desperately needs, sustainable peace.

Alhamdudillaah to the new peace found in Southern Somalia and its proof that if we find peace, we can get our dignity and respect back.
Our focus should be attaining peace now and inshallah every thing else will follow it.
