When most of us think of the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, we think of scorching sun, endless ocean of sand dunes, and one of the inhospitable climates on Earth, that wasn’t the case in the not-so-distant past. About 10000 years ago and before it was a place of rolling grasslands, forests, and jungles watered by torrential monsoon rains just like in tropical southeast Asia. Thanks to huge water resources deep beneath, Saudi Arabia could be able to transform desert into farmlands.
Interesting stuff I found for myself:

Back in the mid ‘50s , my father was the first agronomist hired by ARAMCO to help local farmers with introducing and managing new crops; this was in eastern SA. I really enjoyed this video to see progress made in agriculture of the KSA. Best wishes to you.

Center pivot irrigation isnt effective for water management, it is effective in the sense that it does not require a lot of work from the owner. Drip irrigation is _much_ more effective to preserve water. But in both cases, draining the aquafier is an unsustainable strategy, and people on the US west coast are currently experiencing it.

For those folks that have never visited the Pacific Northwest, let me say this, you should and come between November and February. Why, because anything that will hold winter rains is full and on the move to the ocean. It boggles my mind that politicos cannot grasp the fact that billions of gallons of water flow in the ditches of the I5 highway into a river and out to the ocean very winter. Anyone with a little ambition and not even a big budget could redirect that water to where it’s needed. Instead nothing happens and people moan and fret over no water. Take a page from Bryan Slats book, and figure it out. The I5 highway starts at the Canadian border and goes south to Mexico

@@islandgardener158 You are over simplifying it. Diverting this water would have serious ecological impacts, it is not like you can gather it right before it touches the beach, it would have to be much higher up. And by doing so, it would mess up the ecosystem downstream. It is very naive to think that you can divert a huge amount of water without impacts.

For the people who don't know, one side of Saudi Arabia gets snow every year the other side is really like a forest with green mountains and gets rain regularly, the red sea side is filled with chains of mountains, and only the middle is where the fair golden sand is but even that part gets rain for few days/weeks and it's rewlly heavy rain that flows like rivers in the middle of the deset. It's oftne known that the middle-east was forests and river before and infact it will be like that again but naturally, not by man. The more I see the climate changes the more I am sure I might live to see the beginning of the end lol.

There are many food crops that can grow well in the Arabian peninsula. One example is tomatoes, it can withstand hot climates. Other plants are sorghum, cotton (cotton used to be grown in Bahrain 1000 years ago), millet, flax and sisal and many more. I would say build more dams to use and control the rainwater on the western slopes of the mountains and some of this water can be used to recharge the underground aquifers. With science and technology you can do wonders in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the peninsula.

As far as i know and learned at my studies in the university, Dessertification isnt drycut a problem of overgrazing. Cutting down trees is a problem however there is strong discussion leaning towards that herding animals over these water poor lands, helps create a healthy soil, and therefore grasslands. Grasslands in it self further binds the soil and prevents the soild degradation to continue.

Saudi Arabia is drilling for a resource possibly more precious than oil. The green fields that dot the desert draw on water that in part was trapped during the last Ice Age. Saudi Arabia reaches these underground rivers and lakes by drilling through the desert floor, directly irrigating the fields with a circular sprinkler system. This technique is called center-pivot irrigation. 2:48 [NASA Scientific Visualization Studio]

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing, so much so that a man takes Zakat out of his property and cannot find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers. Reference : Sahih Muslim 157cIn-book reference : Book 12, Hadith 76USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 5, Hadith 2208 Isn't that's amazing that this kind of information has been spoken about it 1400 years ago and its happening and we are witnessing on it in our times ❤

Center pivot technology is used all around the world to produce a variety of crops. Current technology allows farmers to control their pivot's operation with a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Each center pivot irrigation system rotates around a pivot point, most commonly located in the center of a field. Pivot irrigation is often viewed as a sustainable solution for growers that work with different crops. Center pivot irrigation systems are among the most water-efficient ways to irrigate crops, with anywhere from 85 to 98% water use efficiency. The main disadvantage is the relatively high cost of acquisition of a center pivot irrigation system. 1:23 [AGRIVI; Alabama Cooperative Extension; Groundwater Foundation]

Interesting irrigation concept. There is an ancient dam and retention lake/settling pond at the base of Jebel Al Lawz in north west Arabia. It has about a dozen hand dug wells along the shore rim that filtered the collected mountain runoff water for potable uses. On the other side of the mountain there is also a giant 3 story tall rock split down the middle by geiser water jets forcing up from the aquifer. There is good HD drone video over @Discovered Media on youtube.

That was really fascinating. Granted, it will be a long time before Saudi Arabia runs out of oil. But if they would invest in this idea, they could change the usefulness of their land for future generations to come. They could use the immense fortune coming out of the ground in oil and perfect this technology that could then be used by countries around the world to make their less than desirable lands to be more productive. Great show! Thanks!
