Dreamtime Web: A Continental Water System Synthesis
Summary We engineered a continent where water flows uphill. The Dreamtime Spine moves water with gravity — the Barkly Tableland diversion, the Georgina-Diamantina river system, the managed lake chain stepping southward. The Dreamtime Stairway moves water against gravity — solar-pumped reservoir nodes stepping surplus southward from the Rama chain through the Flinders corridor to Port Augusta and Spencer Gulf. Together they form the Dreamtime Web: a continental water redistribution system with the Rama Reservoir Chain at its centre — 16 nodes stepping 400km south along the Gawler Craton, capturing monsoon surplus and distributing it southward to Port Augusta via gravity pipeline. A future Victoria River megachain — NT country, NT custodians, NT authorisation — is the plausible western input when survey evidence and partnership support a separate synthesis. ...
