18. Those natural prairie grasses have roots that are 5 ft deep

but they aren't going to survive either with no aquifer. They say it will be a sahara desert.

I saw that Burns documentary. There was a pic of a ship in NY Harbor - that would be the one with the Stature of Liberty in it - the dust was coming in so thick that the captain would not navigate into the harbor. They actually blew into the Atlantic Ocean. These storms came this far east, and they will again.

Don't think the desalinate and refill idea will go , but it's a creative try. I think that you're talking about an incredible amount of energy to move that much water.

I say cut back now , get off those high demand plants like corn. Return it to nature now, and then farm it cyclically. It will last thousands of years with a plan like that. Crop rotation, selective irrigation, managed grazing techniques are needed.

Well, hell, thinking is needed, so kick out the republicans and let the lefties have a go of things.
