Royal Mathematicians' current project

Water highway - Second year updates

By Royal Mathematician Illénie Neurisse

What:

Water + Movement + Salt removal

  A huge canalization with accompanying tunnels and aqueducts to bring water from the sea to the capital, desalinating it along the way.    

---

 

Why:

More water in Lernée --> Bigger City

  Lernée's water supply is currently limited, and this in turn limits its size and how many inhabitants it can welcome, as well as the number and types of new industries that can be set up. Even farming in the countryside surrounding Lernée is submitted to water restrictions, which limits the quality of its products.   This project is an incredibly elegant solution to all of our problems.

How:

Titanic architecture

This will be one of the finest example of titanic architecture, using carving in the stone of the canalization to conduct and control environmental magic to accomplish these objectives.    

---

 

Where:

Coast + Capital + Path in between

  The new canalizations will run from the coastal city of Sange to our capital, Lernée, but will avoid all cities and the mountain chain between them.

Challenges:

Salt + Sedimentation + Erosion + Stability

  A project of such a scale runs up again many challenges that our Royal Mathematicians are overjoyed to face and overcome:    

How to desalinate the water successfully and what to do of all that salt without killing all the fish in the bay or the plants alongside the canalization?

Our mathematicians have come up with a very innovative solution especially for this project: a reservoir canalization below the water canalization will collect the salt and move it towards Lernée, where it will be gathered and sold.    

How to prevent the water and salt from eroding the stone of the infrastructure?

The magic carved in the stone of the infrastructure will make the water and salt hover inside the canalizations but not touch them directly. The lack of contact will preserve the stone and will also help increase the speed of the movements of the water and salt.  

How to prevent the accumulation of sediment inside the canalizations?

Sediment can accumulate despite the water hovering. To prevent this, the magic controlling the movement of the water will do more than impart speed to it: it will fully carry it in its entirety from point to point.  

How to keep the infrastructure stable during earthquakes and storms?

As all titanic architecture, the magic channel carvings in our project are extremely precise, and the least movement of the stones would break everything apart. To avoid this...

Progression:

 

Soon entering phase 3

  The project has been progressing at a steady pace and construction is expected to start soon.
