as a solution for some arid areas ?
1. Some coastal areas only get rain in the strip that is infront of a mountain chain , while the area in the shadow of the mountain does not get any rain . What if the existing mountain was levelled , then an artificial mound of debris as high as the original mountain is constructed , but this time it is some tens of kilometers MORE INLAND , could this ensure more rain to a larger coastal area ?
2 . If a LARGE body of water is created artificially BEHIND said mountains , could that lead to rainfall in the previously ARID area in the MOUNTAIN-SHADOW ?
