Kilometers-long water streams for a space tower and to fight wildfires

Proposal to use ultra high pressure water streams to hold aloft a space tower, to produce kilometers-long water streams to carry water from nearby lakes to fight wildfires, and to transport fresh water kilometers distances to drought ridden areas:

Pumping pressurized fluids to high altitude for the space tower and for fighting forest fires. http://exoscientist.blogspot.com/2018/08/pumping-pressurized-fluids-to-high.html

Entrepreneur Peter Diamandis who began the successful X-Prize for the first amateur team to reach space once said, if you want to make a billion dollars, develop something that helps a billion people.

The fighting wildfires proposal can help millions and prevent billions in property damage but the application of transporting water to areas in dire need of water resources can help billions.
