Tamil Nadu has acute shortage of ground and rain water. If a five kilometre high flat topped stony pyramid is constructed on hard dry rocky land of the state, it will have an artificial mountain . Can it have snow at the top generating a new natural source of drinking water for millions or billions of years to come ?

The climate and high temperature in Tamilnadu will not suitable for your suggestion. Best idea is conserve water so that it will come to one more generation.

That is an impractical idea. To build a mountain? Not realistic. Is their morning mist? If so, consider mist collectors. It woudl be considerably cheaper and more practical. Is the location near salt water? If so, build a desalinization plant. It will provide jobs during construction and operation as well as the needed drinking water. It apears as if their is a significant coast line with the Indian Ocean. Utilize that and build a or many desalinization plants and pipe water from their. This will also provide a ready source of salt for the local diet as well as for export. The pyramid idea is just not practical enough, sorry.

Assuming an angle of repose of 45°, your mountain would require a minimum of
V = Ï(5^3)/3 = 130.899 693 900 km^3.
Including the spiral road you would need to get the material to the top, the volume is more like
Ï(15^2)5/3 = 1,178,097,245,096 m^3 It might or might not produce a climatological change, but the cost would be staggering.

That is a fasinating idea, but might be difficult to implement. (patent it before someone beats you to it). The only problem is that there is only a certain amount of water that that is recyled continuously on the earth. If water in the form of snow collects on your pyramid it will not fall somewhere else. Another problem is that water is becoming more polluted as more people use it.

ya we can make use of such water resource to keep on producing water. but but but how to construct such a mountain high pyramid.
we don't have the Crystal technology that is shown in the movie
" superman returns ". so it looks highly impossible to create such a mountain.

Why don't you move to where the water is?
