How to prevent a desert from forming alongside a large mountain
I'm wanting to have two regions separated by a large mountain but do not want either side to become a desert. What would the conditions have to be on the desert side for this to be prevented? This is a medieval setting but one civilization is quite 'magically advanced'.
A couple ideas:
a lot of springs?
something that creates it's own weather system? I'd rather not have it be some hardcore hand-wavy magic thing. Maybe the civilization pumps water from large aquifers underground and evaporates it to form clouds and rain.
The civilization has a source of energy they can use for this kind of process.
