That is correct. On Earth, there is no way the project works as described. The only way this can work (and then it is barely possible) is to build this on the leeward side of a mountain over ~11k feet. INTO the mountain with water collection above the 2500ft lip running down.
I have already worked all this out and posted a suitable location in the US. But, the costs of building this project could not be recovered for millenia.
