This sounds like something to pirate for the next burning man though…

To reference another fantasy book, Ursula LeGuin's Wizard of Earthsea has some cool parts of it where Ged or whoever is manipulating storm-systems and they talk about how you can't make it rain here without making it dry someplace else.

I wonder if this would have any knock-on effects on local climate if it happened on any sort of scale?

A "moisture farm." Probobly the same thing. Half the new inventions you hear about are from sci-fi. StarWars isn't even <em>good</em> sci-fi, though very good, and they still get stuff from it.
