Mirror Macro-Imagineering Water Supply Megaprojects: Pipedream Chile-California Complementarity? (Macro-Imagenharia de Megaprojetos Espelhados para Abastecimento de Água: Aquedutos Chile/California como Soluções Complementares Sonhadas?)
Resumo
Abstract: Two tractable New World west-coast Mediterranean climate zones, burdened with increasing urbanized populations, must each be transformed by humans because of inherent North-South variances of natural precipitation. In other words, each politically-defined landscapes must technically devise its own anthropogenic dimension for future prosperity induced by the prospect of a plentiful freshwater supply. Both the nation of Chile, as well as the State of California (USA), have investigated the hypothetical use of gigantic offshore buoyant freshwater pipelines to serve their coastal and inland population’s needs. This report is meant to inspire and engage the next generation of Macro-Imagineering experts.
Key words: Submarine pipeline, freshwater transport, Chile, State of California, geographical similarities.

Duas zonas de clima Mediterrâneo na costa oeste do Novo Mundo, sobrecarregadas com o aumento das populações urbanizadas, devem ser transformadas por seres humanos devido às variações inerentes de precipitação natural entre o Norte e o Sul. Em outras palavras, cada cenário politicamente definido deve tecnicamente conceber sua própria dimensão antropogênica para a prosperidade futura, induzida pela perspectiva de um suprimento abundante de água doce. Tanto o Chile como o Estado da Califórnia (EUA) investigaram o uso hipotético de dutos de água doce flutuantes (offshore) gigantescos para atender às necessidades de suas populações costeiras e interiores. Este relatório tem como objetivo inspirar e engajar a próxima geração de especialistas em Macro-Imagineering.
Palavras-chave: Aqueduto submarino, transporte de água doce, Chile, Estado da Califórnia, semelhanças geográficas.
