And tons of energy to pump tons of water, then suck all that moisture back out of the air so that every area with A/C doesn't drip water from every cool surface.
Let nature live in natural settings, not in a sealed space with millions of human gawkers passing through. This is beautiful in a Liberace chandelier sort of way but these attempts to awe visitors will always be one-upped by time, technological change, decay, or competition.
"Swamp Coolers" have been a thing for a long time in very dry hot desert climates, where you cool by evaporating water and the extra humidiy is fine. It is not so great in a hot and humid climate.
Yeah our swamp cooler works really well. Most the houses out here have them where I'm at. You're right, they work really really good in dry climates right up until you're at the peak of summer where it struggles to keep up. At least from my experience. But that only lasts a little while until the temperatures start going back down.
They're also incredibly simple machines. It's literally just a water pump and an electric motor that spins essentially just a big fan

Ok, but by “cool” they meant “not die of heat stroke”. That shit was still uncomfortable.
Have been to Singapore airport a few times and behind the glitz it's very shoddy and lots of areas stink of damp and mold.
