How is the struggle for water, such as in Ethiopia and Kenya, shaping conflicts in this century?

Title endorsed in part by:

effective. Because this is an emergency measure, if the Governments and peoples of Ethiopia and Kenya, immediately, build pristine water towers (painted a pretty shade of sky blue) with an extremely basic and simple delivery system, the United States of America, as a gift to Africa, has the maritime power to quickly retrofit a number of it's ships to carry fresh, pure water from the north and south arctic regions to East Africa. Portable pipelines to the towers can be laid within a matter of days. While the ships are at the ice regions, a simple, extendable pipe, with a warming devise at the end, can siphon enormous quantities of fresh water from the pristine glaciers onto the ships.

Plant a vast tree-line of fruit trees, filling all available land within Ethiopia and Kenya with peaches, plums, et alii, in order to hold moisture in the land, regenerate the soil, produce fresh oxygen, and feed the poor. Several essential benefits will be derived, thereby. A poor child within those nations will never go without a meal. Rather than crushing the pits, planting them will provide future generations with free fresh fruit. The tree-line will regularly cool the portion of an international air current such that Mexico's dry, desert lands will eventually become lush, once again, so that Mexicans will be able to plant fruit trees and crops in currently desert regions.

An important additional benefit is that the winters on Earth would, then, be milder, making Siberia a less hostile and more agriculturally-friendly environment and warming the poor penguins to the south. And less oil would be needed as heating fuel, throughout the Earth.

In fact, if a concerted effort were to be effected to relocate the sands of the giant dunes of the Sahara and Saudi Arabia to regions which would benefit from the sands, such as the lower-lying regions of Brazil, water could be transported to nourish the entire Sahara and Middle Eastern regions, given that there is a great deal of ice at the north and south poles, today, and the Sahara and adjacent deserts could blossom with fruit trees to feed the poor and the wild animals, freely.

NASA is, technically (=), capable of securing six large cables, at three sets of vertical points, between deeply embedded rock and three sturdy, powerful rocket ships, in order to, carefully and accurately, slow the spinning of the Earth by approximately 2 1/2 inches, by gently pulling the Earth counter to it's current direction of spin (until the most reasonable correction under 3 inches is made). Modern technology is grand!

Arctic air currents would, then, be milder, day by day, gently warming the Earth to that of a fresh, spring day. The Earth could, over the course of time, become more like the Garden of Eden of ancient days, rather than ravaged with tornadoes, hurricanes, snow storms, et alii.

If, however, we do not hurry, the currently melting glaciers will, quickly, disappear into salt water, flooding the shores of every nation on Earth, and we shall have lost this miraculous opportunity, forever. In fact, a waterfall of melted glacial waters is flowing into the ocean, at this very moment, with the force of Niagara Falls.

To do nothing to divert that water to healthful purposes would be a sin.
