Can flooding part of Africa help save the world??

Question

What would happen if we pumped water from our rising oceans into africa. Some low laying desert area? Make a hugh sea in the middle someplace? Would that help the world? That would bring water to africa and help with food, plants, and the people. Would it help millions of people to survive?

Answer 1

No. As the water from the oceans would be very salty and plants would not grow easily.

Answer 2

Well first of all with the sea levels rising it will harm more then save africa two resons:

1. You can't drink salt water so that won't help them

2. Salt water will harm cros and not help them grow.

Maybe if it was flooded with proper water, that would help, alot. People in Egypt sometimes need a flood, they release water from the massive dam in the nile, when there is droughts but the bad thing is in places badly effected by poverty and starvation there are no such dams, as much i would love to see africa being saved by a huge flood it probably won't happen! Sorry but that's the reality of it!

Answer 3

No because desert area is above sea level the water will only just create rivers and g into the sea, evaporate and rain down in the oceans again
