When a floating freshwater lake reservoir contained sufficient water, the water could be pumped to the desired usage point through pipelines.
INDICATIONS
Because the fresh water is less dense than the sea water, the pipelines would float almost submerged at the sea surface.
Flexible-wall floating pipelines should be cheap to construct.
Pipelines could be in a grid network with a variety of transmission routes available.
Provision would be needed for shipping to pass through such networks, say with weighted pipeline sections which would be well below the sea surface.
With all the pipelines essentially at sea level, little energy would be needed to move water along them.
Development of devices and control software is possible here, with new approaches open to patenting or trade-secreting.
