A system for restoration of a salty terminal lake utilizing several technologies to form a self-sustaining functional lake, the system comprising:
- a) two dikes positioned on opposing ends of the salty terminal lake thereby dividing the lake into three sections including a first section, a second section, and a central section located between the first section and the second section to prevent contamination of the central section with pesticides and fertilizers, and the first and second sections are configured to form vast wildlife sanctuaries, and to accommodate lesser amounts of water from nearby reduced source of running water because of drought and to combat climate change;
- b) the central section of salty terminal lake requiring more water than the first and second sections is filled with seawater from a nearby ocean wherein several technologies are used to desalinate the central section of the salty terminal lake;
- c) a pipeline system bypassing restricted biosphere in the nearby ocean with a system of pipelines laid on the bottom of the nearby ocean and to avoid difficulties caused by oscillating tides, wherein seawater from the nearby ocean is transported by the pipeline system;
- d) additional dikes built around a desired area to provide dry land for desired uses comprising cultivation of farmland and extraction of lithium from prevalent geothermal sources, and providing conditions for refiling the salty terminal lake to a predetermined level with seawater to prevent intended destruction and/or shrinkage of the whole salty terminal lake;
- e) an injection well used for depositing diluted waste material from geothermal power plants, into depleting geothermal reservoir thus providing the solution for handling waste material and depletion of the geothermal reservoir;
- f) a first desalination closed-loop system comprising a first heat exchanger positioned in a source of heat in a wellbore and a second heat exchanger positioned in a boiler of a power unit, wherein the boiler is frequently filled up with salty water from the salty terminal lake, and generated steam moves pistons or spins turbines of the power unit to generate electricity and exhausts steam condensate into a condenser to produce distilled water and concentrated salty brine from the boiler to be used for the extraction of lithium;
- g) an array of removable pans in a nearby mineral extraction facility, wherein concentrated brine is received in the array of removable pans and where evaporation is induced with a hot pipe system underneath the removable pans, and evaporation from the brine in the removable pans is condensed in a condenser system positioned in the upper portion of a building insulated and divided with a plastic curtain, where distilled water is collected, and transferred for use in different applications, and the highly concentrated brine from the removable pans is collected and transported to a nearby facility for extraction of lithium and other minerals;
- h) a second desalination closed-loop system comprising a first heat exchanger positioned in a source of heat which is a thermo-optical solar panel or dish and a second heat exchanger positioned into a boiler of the power unit in which the boiler is frequently filled up with salty water from a salty body of water and generated steam moves pistons or spins turbines of the power unit to generate electricity and exhausted steam condensate into a condenser producing distilled water and concentrated salty brine from the boiler to be used for the extraction of lithium;
- and
- i) a cooling condenser closed-loop system comprising a first heat exchanger positioned in a condenser and a second heat exchanger positioned in a nearby source of running water to transfer heat between the running water and the condenser to cool the condenser.
