I've got a shovel and a will.... Call me when you break ground
I cannot break ground, but I can break wind 
Dig a channel or something
I want to do it so bad, i fucking hate deserts
There's 673000 km2 of stupid patagonian desert, let me flood 0.1% of it and make a cool ramsar place
Hexbear says: fill it with piss and beans
Or did it deeper and fill it with facists.
Idk it could already be an ephemeral lake (seasonally fills up with flood waters, dries out afterwards)
Yes but the rains will never fill it as fast as digging a channel from the river
That would devastate several ecosystems
you should dig a trench to it using nuclear weapons
turn it into a freshwater lake. what are you even doing rn? go get a bucket 
stop being lazy.
Let's make Salton Sea 2 electric boogaloo
Why is Salton Sea 1.0 dying just add more water silly
Brilliant, someplace to put the extra sea water from the icecaps melting! Now we don't need to do anything about global warming ever.
Well yeah the Campo de Hielo Sur drains in that river nearby
How's the earthmover rental scene in the area?
Find the steepest hillside, dig some swales on it, plant arid-adapted plants in guilds along the swale, and try to get grasses to situate permanently. Get the water to flow into a network of roots so it doesn't just evaporate.
