If the oceans are expected to rise by one inch in the next 50 years (I believe it might be sooner than that) then it would require pumping 92,000,000 gals/min for each and every minute of that 50 years to counter that one inch rise.
This would fill the Sahara to a depth of 39" with not one drop making its way back into the Mediterranean Sea or the Nile River.
