Looking to the past to solve today's problems....

3,000-year-old underground aqueduct technology, qanat tunnels, are being used today to bring water to areas where they're needed, including water for passive cooling.

The creation of city gardens help cool the air, plus solar-powered pump systems take advantage of evaporative cooling to make a more comfortable environment in the hot summer months

“KEY POINTS:
• A climate model is used to test the hypothesis that creating a large lake in central Australia would increase rainfall
• Locally, surface cooling effects of the lake suppress the formation of precipitation
• Regionally, moisture from the lake is exported to other areas but the amount is small compared to natural variability in Australian rainfall..."”
