At the moment 27 thousand are engaging with this, nearly 50thousand support the progress and over 6.000 return eachmonth to follow the developments.

Please elaborate on the status of your activity'simplementation:Max: 250 Words

It's in the course of implementation, we havealready made micro demonstrations about thespecific results, their indicated huge climaticimprovement, to reduce deforestation, forest andpeat degradation by more than 2 million foresthectares. To reclaim desert land to produce food(Vegetables and fish) for 2 billion people.The implementation process does have manysteps as we don't want one single country to leadthis project but a globally responsibe organisation(UN/FN) to prevent further threat and argumentsbetween implemented countries.

Time-line:• 1987 – 2012 working around different opportunities to solve the world’s

increased food and energy demands.

• 2009 – 2014 Finally realizing a solution to drill more effectively

• 2013 – 2016 Allocate natural resource, to meet the World Banks benchmark about cost of benefit.

• 2017 – present: Crowd-funding and building knowledge in the world’s citizens. What we take for granted will perhaps be a lifesaver in some other parts of the world.

• 2018 Final feasibility study/development of the project, financing, and predeclared route for pipeline

• 2019 Involve construction and other industries

• 2020 Start of the tunnel drilling, estimated to take 5 years

Project Summary

1. Project SummaryProvide a summary of what your activity does and how itimplements solutions that balance the need for both humanhealth and a healthy planet. This can include initiatives that areimproving health and reducing environmental damage,promoting sustainable patterns of consumption, making healthsystems more responsive to climactic events or promoting the wise stewardship of natural ecosystems. Max: 300Words

By continuing the pipeline from theNorwegian hydro-power plant, it ispossible to reallocate ¼ of thefreshwater, which otherwise will godirectly out into the ocean. So, theestimated 900 m3/sec. will betransferred to the dry land in northernAfrica, for the production of food forbillions of people in the area.The price tag will be below the World-bank benchmark. The whole projectwill be able to pay for itself in a time-frame of the course of a fewgenerations by its production ofelectricity.

It will reduce deforestationand forest and peat degradation by more than 2 million forest hectares.It will prevent climate-refugees by many millions and give suitable living conditions to at least 1 billion people.By reclaiming the desert, for land where people will be able to live as shown inhistory 1000 years ago when it was a reality.


2. Indicate whether your activity focuses on climate change mitigation, adaptation or both

Both

The evaporation energy will be around 25,000GWh per day because of the daily evaporationof over 50 million tons of water which will fall inthe neighborhood each evening/night/morningat a distance of up to 500 to 700 km in radiusfrom each farm.

By removing some freshwater which enters to the sea in the Arctic area, it will it reduce the risk of the world water pump, circulating in our ocean, and thereby also slow down the speed of the polar-caps melting due to the pressure difference betweenfreshwater and saltwater.

By statistical proof, dothe human naturegrow a lot in thefurther. We knowAfrica will grow bynearly 2 billion peoplein the next 50 years –and that is why wemust take sustainableaction now inadvance, before it istoo late – many greatprojects do take yearsto fulfil – and this one,is done with a 15 yeartime-frame.


Measures

2.1 MitigationDescribe the specific mitigation measurestaken by your activity to address climatechange. With evidence, indicate how youractivity reduces the sources of greenhousegas emissions or enhances the sequestrationof these gases. If applicable, describe howthese emission reductions were measured,reported and verified. Max: 250 Words

By reallocating 27.000 million cubic meters of water annually – wereduce the concentration of freshwater in the ocean, which is a cause ofmelting the polar-cap, resulting in a reduction of over 90 TW. The watervolume is equivalent in size to a cubic width measurement 3000 x 3000x 3000 meter.The break-force down to the northern Africa, will produce nearly 278 TWyearly and in this way substitute the world’s population in theindustrialized world by 6 – 7 million people, with renewable energy.And help finance the project with nearly 3.5 billion USD annually in totalfrom hydro-power generation. It will also reduce CO2 emission by 55 –60 million tons yearly.The measurement/calculations are based at 900tons/sec. entering at above 60 degree north, and willleave just north of the equator and the way the earthmotions-energy accelerates the water volume by afactor of X2 and it is necessary to add 40 break-forceinstallations, with a distance of 250 km between eachpower station.These stations do also add the vortex effect to thepipeline and reduce the resistance inside thislong transmission-line.Water from this project will deliver evaporationenergy in the desert with around 25,000 GWper day. If all farming facilities use the

aqua/hydroponic system, we could keep the minimum of evaporation to 55 million tonnes of water per day. In this way help to reduce the temperature in its surroundings.


2.2 AdaptationDescribe the specific adaptation measures taken by youractivity to address climate change. If applicable, describehow your activity enhances resilience to weather-relatedrisks or climate resilient solutions. Explain how youractivity benefits the ecological, social and economicsystems that are impacted by climate change. Max: 250Words

The freshwater in this project is taken directly from anexisting hydro-power plant in Norway just before it entersthe ocean and gets mixed with salt-water. It will have noknown significant influence locally around the 3.500kilometre coast line of Norway where this project onlyreduce 25% of the freshwater entering the ocean.Daily food production will exceed 20 million tons, dividedin an area of 5,500 km. This in itself will give 1.5 billiondaily meals, consisting of up to 14MJ – divided between vegetables and fish. ½ billion, will be able to cultivate crops, becauseof the great rise in rain; the day'sevaporated 55 million cubic meter ofwater will condense and fall like rain.Estimated micro climate change in thearea of the desert region will, in aradius around each farm, to have atransportation of water-vapour to fallbetween 500 to 700 kilometres away,depending on wind direction and speedof the clouds. And it is estimated morethan 5,500,000,000 m2 will get a daily10 mm of rain.

Over 20 million families willdirectly benefit by employmentat the farms, an additional 40million with distribution,treatment and sale. Weestimate at least 350 – 400million people will get a directbenefit from this project withregular income and decentliving conditions.The project will help to reduceclimate-refugees and bringhope/trust back to the region –and over time the surroundingwill slowly change from desert-land to a more fruitfulfarmland.


Project Specific

3. The role of planetary health solutions addressing climate changeDescribe how your activity implemented solutions thatcombat climate change and enhance the quality of life anddeliver improved health for all together with respect forthe integrity of natural systems. These climate solutionsshall preserve the benefits provided by ecosystems suchas food and clean water, regulation of floods, soil erosion,and disease outbreaks. Other climate solutions can consistof strategies that address growing demand for food, healthsystems that strengthen climate resilience, cities thatpromote health benefits, improved governance systemsfor sustainability and the reduction of environmentaldamage.

By reclaiming desert, back to a possible living zone, wewill recommend technical structure be planned inadvance with transport, road, water/sewer/power/dataline etc. Each farm will be able to support a green townof 3,7 million inhabitants, or at minimum 4 - 500.000persons (55.000 worker + families, and servicepersonnel, teachers, doctors, nurses, etc. = 4 -500.000) who are directly connected to the food-production.Hydroponics (Farm) is a more than 2000-year-old method which combines the growing of fish and vegetables together. The advantage is the possibility to control the environment, both for the fish and plant. Plant get their nutrition direct from the water;with this principle, they do not need any access to any type of soils. This type of installation also works with very low water-consumption - compared with traditional growing it is possible to save up to 80% of the precious freshwater.

The disadvantage in Hydroponicsystems is the lack of automation– and demand great force of labor.But the yield does make this typevery suitable in the countries thatare not in the digital world, wheremanual work is no longer is apopular job.Compared with growing in openfields, a closed system alsoprotects the production againstinsects and other unwanted life,etc. goat, cows and wildlife. Plus,with the possibility to protect thefarm against sun, rain, sand andgive the opportunity to maintain amore tolerant temperature duringthe day.


Involvement

4. Economic and Social Co-Benefits

4.1 Social beneficiariesDescribe who your activity’s beneficiaries are, howmany beneficiaries you have, how they havebenefited from your activity and how they wereengaged in the planning and development of youractivity. If applicable, highlight how people who mightbe marginalized (such as women, indigenous peoples,the elderly, minorities or disabled people) areinvolved in your activity. Max: 250 Words

Today, more than 60 millionrefugees exist in Africa,according to Frontex – andthere will be more in thenear future, it is the clearthe international communitysoon need to see somealternative solutions to givethese people a type ofdecent future.

If we reclaim the desert-land, and make it liveable, we have a suitable solution for the next many generation – and by controlling/planning how the further infrastructure will be built, we prevent unwanted situations about, sewage, power, water and healthcare/school situations.

It will be possible also for women to startfocusing on other things. Hopefully manyof them will get an education and be agreat part to building wellness on thecontinent of Africa.


4.2 Socio-economic benefitsDescribe the social and economic co-benefits generated by youractivity. If applicable, highlight how your activity has helped toimprove: resilience, livelihoods, education, health, security, theenvironment, gender equality and investment opportunities.Max: 250 Words

Social benefit:Billions of people will be ableto get a decent life/income, and believe in their children’s future.

Economic benefit:The water project, and reclaimingthe dry-land, will lead to hugeinvestment, whereby the projectproperly will only add 10% - of thetotal economy that will be built inthis new community.


Scalability and Replicability

5. Scalability and Replicability

5.1 Explain how your activity is scalableA scalable activity has the potential to grow in size andtherefore reach more beneficiaries. It can expand andadapt to increased demands, resulting in a larger impactwhen addressing climate mitigation and/or adaptation.Max: 250 words

At this stage of projection, we calculate with a water flowat 30 km/h – and this is possible to rise from 25% to 33%of the freshwater supply from Norway before it will makevisibly effects on nature/the environment.So at this moment we calculate with a daily water supplyof 77 million tons of freshwater, it is possible to raise up to102 million tons/daily, in the future, when the cities growin the next couple of generations.

5.2 Explain how your activity is replicableA replicable activity has the potential to be a replicable activityhas the potential to be successfully implemented in, or tailored to,other places, regions and/or countries. It can be duplicated by thesame institution, or the technology can be shared to allowreplication by other actors in different places or sectors. Max: 250Words

There are plenty of natural resources in theworld but unfortunately not always wherethey are needed. To preserve naturalresources like freshwater, before it getsblended with salt-water in the ocean. Incombination with clever water managementand production of food, it is possible only touse 20% of the amount of water, for eachmeal, compared to, for example, the Toshkaproject, which at the moment usestraditional farming techniques.The scalability is possible in many places around the world. At the moment, we have contact with 2 locations in Pakistan and India. Both of these places have the opportunity.


Mountains there deliver water down through the country. But both places (commendable for all future installations) in the mountain need to build reservoirs/dams/magazines to maintain a steadier yearly supply down to the valley where people live most. The pipe line will be paid back after a number of year, by its electricity production and hydroponic farming techniques which will be implemented.

This type of farm uses 80% lesswater, for the same amount of food-production, compared withtraditional farming technique


Innovation

6. InnovationExplain how your activity is innovative.An innovative activity can: be original in its design, bethe first of its kind in a country or region, and/or have anovel implementation. It can involve creative newprocesses, technologies, business models, behaviors andpractices. Max: 250 Words

It will be the first project of its kind to use the earthmotions-energy, to finance a great humanity project,that will be able to feed nearly 2 billion of the earth’sfuture populations and also make an alternative to theclimatic refugee situations the earth faces today.

The innovations are perhapsnot so big because all of thetechnical installations havebeen used for generations. Butin this spectacular situation itis the centrifugal force, theearth provides, at 60 degrees north we have a static rotations-speed at 600 km/h, and at the exit in north of Africawe have a rotation speed at around 1200 km/h.

This will add an additional 900 tons/sec. of force to movingmasses like water, to generate renewable energy, and payback the whole project in a short time period of the totalproject lifetime.

Using naturally available collectedfreshwater, after it has past hydro-power stations in Norway. Andusing natural motions-energy theearth provides force for earthmotions-energy.

The project willgenerate anannual income of3,5 milliard USDannually, when we

estimate the kilowatt price to 1,2 cent/US fromthe hydro-power plant.


Transformation

7. Transformational ChangeExplain how your activity has the potential forlong-term transformational change. Anactivity with the potential for long-termtransformational change should produce long-lasting results. A transformational activityreflects an innovative approach to addressingclimate change through the use of a newpartnership, a new technology, and/or anexisting technology that is used in a new wayor dimension. Max: 250 Words

We need to think like a world citizen, look at the globe like oneunit, not divided by borders – be openminded and newopportunities will appear.

This “Water For Life, Greening the desert-land in north Africabefore 2030” will probably be an opener to many decision-makers, to see new way for the world's many countries tothink. This will hopefully change the future in a positivedirection for many families in the near future, not only inAfrica, but around the world.


Micro water projectHattfjelldal, Norway, 12 marts. 2017

A water conservation project out in a small village is also sometime possible, with channelizingwater from remote surroundings, into the valley where people now live. First considerations, is cost of benefit – The world Bank have made a benchmark to limit the final cost. If a project needs external investment, the price per cubic-meter of delivered water should be kept below 1 USD/m3. This will sometimes be a challenge to maintain these goals and it´s whythe final user sometimes, needs to look at alternatives to realise for an alternative final layout, for use of delivered water.In India and Pakistan today, there exists a possibly smaller project, their will fulfils the above, there a village will grow from 30 – 50 families to over a hundred after a water-projectis established. If a dry district makes a water project, it will be possible to turnaround the local production, from one type of farming technique, to a more suitably conservative water-demanding food production. By the use of Aquaponic systems, it will be possible to reduce thewater consumption by 80%, for the same amount of final food production.Short investment calculations for the cubic-meter delivered, will be over a time-frame at 20 years, should not pass 1 USD/m3. So, if the project does deliver 200 cubic-meters per day, the final project maximum cost is (200 x 365 x 20) 1,5 million USD. Additional investment in farming facilities will be increased, and sometimes covered by local businessmen who see a suitable business opportunity, in growing/having food production.200 USD/m3 in Aquaponic system is possible to deliver around 20 tons of food, like vegetables and fish, each day. And the final water-cost per kilogram of food will be kept below 1 to 2 USD cents in the final sales kilogram of product. Additional labour will come and farming investment.A suitable water-project, as described above, is possible to feed around 4.000 inhabitants and make many well-paid jobs and give a local increase in wealth. This will be the correct argument to local government to initialize this type of project.Water For Life Org. do want to be a partner, to realize this type of projects, together with our beneficial HCM Development AS. Needed material in the entrance phase will be the collection of local knowledge, like maps, photos, descriptions of communities, historic weather, neighbour distance and suitably marked potential of raising of food production.
