Re: AquaWorlds (Water Holding and Water Transporting Methods)
I think that quite often the transport of water on Mars may be done by Methane pipeline. Where a major body of water ice exists, Methane may be produced. Pipelines, perhaps of cast basalt, can convey it to various locations where it can be reacted with O2 from CO2, to make Water.
Here in another topic is further information: https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=11387
While a little tricky, my hope is that a pure water atmosphere can be split into H2 and O2, and separate with the H2 floating on top. At a low pressure, I hope that explosive conditions will not be an idea killer for this.
Spitting water if done in a pure way, will avoid the creation of CO which of course is a poison to creatures using Hemoglobin.
Using the Hydrogen and Mars atmosphere, various kinds of Precision Fermentation and Cellular Food Cultures could be done.
Using O2 and biomass created in that manner would support mushroom farming
So, by pipeline Methane moved, and then accumulations of water with an ice and mechanical covering in suitable sized craters.
Mechanical cover could be poly-films as vapor barriers and a manufactured simulation of pumice on top of that.
Manufactured chemicals added may grow things desired.
So, these may be put near points of economic interest such as a mineral deposit.
Ending Pending

Is it possible that the root of political science claims is to produce white collar jobs for people who paid for an education and do not want a real job?
