Oregon seawater. Great Salt Lake. A destination resort.
Pacific Aquarius is a concept-stage seawater infrastructure and destination resort proposal. The working sequence is direct: pump seawater from the Oregon Coast to the Great Salt Lake, use the lake as the inland reserve, then feed a large-scale desalination and treatment plant.
01 / Source
Pacific Coast intake
A screened seawater intake and pump station would draw from a carefully selected coastal location. Intake design, marine ecology, energy demand, and permitting are open engineering questions—not settled claims.
02 / Conveyance
Direct seawater movement
The concept moves seawater intact through a dedicated conveyance corridor to the Great Salt Lake. Freshwater is not produced at the coast in this model; treatment occurs at the inland reserve.
03 / Reserve
Great Salt Lake fill tank
The Great Salt Lake is the proposed central storage and balancing reserve. Any restoration scenario must account for evaporation, salinity, ecology, basin hydrology, land, and long-term operating controls.
04 / Treatment
Large-scale inland plant
A large-scale desalination and treatment campus would draw from the restored lake, produce freshwater for regional users, and manage the saline purge through a dedicated environmental control system.
05 / Delivery
Regional distribution
Finished water would move through storage, municipal, agricultural, industrial, recharge, and emergency delivery nodes. The operating network would be staged around verified demand and available energy.
06 / Destination
Resort infrastructure as a revenue engine
The scope pairs the waterworks with a destination resort inspired by Disneyland: hospitality, recreation, immersive attractions, and educational visitor experiences. The aim is to turn a public expense into a profitable venture. Demand, financing, operating costs, and revenue assumptions require commercial study; no Disney affiliation is claimed.
