Further on pumping water to high altitude proposal:

The first has to do with various methods of improving laminar flow in pipes
or free flowing water streams to extend range. Some methods discussed were atomically flat surfaces, piping at micro/nanoscale, and hydrophobic to superhydrophobic surfaces.
The second deals with the problem of the water dispersing over long
distances or at high speeds by encasing it in a solid such as mud, ice, or plastic.

Carbon nanotubes can revolutionize 21st-century technology IF they can be
made arbitrarily long while maintaining their strength.
Some proposals to accomplish that here:
