Operation OASIS (Project to restore coastal forests in arid regions using treated waste water from Europe, transported as ballast in bulk shipping vessels)

Operation OASIS aims to treat and transport excess European waste water as ballast in returning oil supertankers, bringing rain and fertility back to the world’s 
extensive deserts. We are seeking partners for a joint EU application to initiate a pilot demonstration of a rain-inducing tree belt on an unused strip of the 
coast of Anadalucia, Spain. Subsequent projects will establish self-sustaining agroforestry starting from desert coasts in Africa and the Middle East. 
Through peaceful international teamwork, developing economies can then absorb excess CO2, grow enough trees & crops to address impending global food shortages 
and stabilise the world climate while providing food, water, fuel, sustainable energy, safe materials & employment desperately needed by our communities 
and industries.   
The E.U. Is proposing to legislate against sea water ballast disposal to sea. Shipping  needs an alternative!  
Operation OASIS is seeking partnerships with Shipping companies, Water Companies, Oil Companies, Environmental Groups and organisations, Government 
departments and appropriate directorates within the European Union to begin the process of moving towards achieving our first pilot project in Andalucia. 
 
Operation OASIS is a plan to ship treated waste water as ballast to arid coastlines to irrigate and increase the fertility of the land by planting forests to 
induce regular rainfall, fog and mist, providing a sustainable replicable approach to combating deserts and desertification.  
  
The pilot project proposes to demonstrate sustainably how 1500 hectares of arid coastline in Andalucia Spain, North Africa and the Middle East, can be irrigated 
and planted with combined forestry and agriculture to the point where the local climate is altered to induce sufficient rainfall and condensation on the trees 
and crops to become self sufficient in water after year 4.   
  
Spain currently faces severe desertification and water pollution issues, in certain (central & southern) areas.  
  
We are preparing an application to the European Commission for funding towards putting the two problems together in order to resolve both. The first project 
involves applying treated wastewater to an unused strip of arid Andalucía coastline in order to convert sand into a water-retaining soil gel and irrigate a 
new tree belt. This will draw in moist air from over the sea, restoring rainfall and permitting self-sustaining agroforestry to proceed inland.  
  
Once this solution has been demonstrated successfully, the next project will process and tanker plentiful wastewater from the shores of Venice in order 
to expand the Spanish coastal desert reclamation. We have explored  ‘Operation Oasis ‘ (this project) with the help of very eminent scientists and specialists 
working in the fields of irrigation, shipping, waste water and engineering, who have all confirmed the plausibility of this project, and if you require any 
further immediate information please look up our website www.operationoasis.com. In order to demonstrate this pillot project to the EU we need to secure match-funding 
from them through an application by the end of June 2011.  
  
The ultimate objective of Operation OASIS is to sustainably treat and transport excess European wastewater as ballast in returning oil supertankers (VLCC’s 
& ULCC’s) and all bulk shipping which currently transport sea water around the worlds ocean at great cost and risk of introducing alien marine life to distant 
coastal waters, using mutually beneficial global outlets that are already in place to resolve the major global problems listed below:   
  
1) Global Coastal Waste Water Pollution   
2) Marine sea water ballast discharge   
3) Uneven distribution of annual rainfall (floods and drought)  
4) Famine and poverty in developing countries  
5) Desertification and loss of arable land with the world’s extensive and rapidly expanding arid deserts. The Sahara Desert for example now exceeds the land 
mass of the United States.  
6) Impending Global Water and Food Shortages.   
7) Dwindling timber and fuel resources.   
8) Unsustainable Energy Resources  
9) Loss of land for expanding populations to live  
10) Biodiversity, species and extinction of Global Flora and Fauna  
11) Excess Carbon Emissions  
12) Political instability, civil unrest and resource-based wars  
13) Unemployment  
14) Climate Change  
15) Global food shortages  
16) Rising Ocean Level  
  
All of  these situations standing alone pose serious problems for our very survival, yet when put together each problem in turn resolves the others through 
establishing peaceful international teamwork. Developing economies can then reclaim land to absorb CO2, offsetting carbon emissions from transport, water 
and energy and grow enough trees and crops to stabilise the world climate, providing food, water, fuel, safe materials and useful employment desperately needed 
by our communities and industries.
