The golf course will likely be designed in such a way to have water run off into multiple drainage points that will lead back to wherever ever the wetwell is. I image there will be some treatment involved, nonetheless it would definitely be saving water. Simply by reusing the runoff for the golf course irrigation system. This does not eliminate the need to refill the wetwell, and it is likely that any water that would be used to irrigate the course that isn’t reused runoff, would be treated municipal water.

After watching just the intro, I have a hard time believing it will only cost $5 billion. Edit: After watching the whole video, I doubt it would only cost triple that figure, especially with the large scope of remote construction, that they will need exorbitantly lavish rooms/facilities to compete with the Emirates, road networks across that area the size of Belgium, and the lofty goals for sustainability/renewables. Only thing that keeps cost down is use of cheap South Asian labor treated to terrible conditions.

@Joyfigher 2 жыл бұрын
@@harbl99 at least you didn't just answer with "no" like the other two. Still - i do not think you can compare these projects. A tourist attraction is pretty far away from a "resort". This is not a Park to preserver nature and wildlife. People will bath in and around these reefes. People will litter. People will have an impact on waterquality and temperature. Reefs are completely different form whales, buildings and artefacts. They outright die if the surroundings change. Just look at the great barrier reef. Why can't they just leave the reef alone and build this stuff somewhere where nothing is going on? Exactly. To attract rich guest who can enjoy it while it lasts.. for another 2-3 years. Oh and if you think like "but they will use the money they will earn with this project to protect wildlife and such" - you're wrong. Why should the saudis care about the environment? They tend to not give a shit about anything besides of their religion. Money will be spend for luxury. Nature will pay for it. The end.

@@harbl99 not true at all. Tourism to a place is what destroys the ecosystem. You give italy cityscape as an example, cruise ships are destroying and sinking venice quicker. Antarctica is experiencing faster degradation and pollution because of tourism. The best way to preserve something is to leave it alone and reduce human interaction. Of course if the thing that is destroying it is an outside factor like climate change, then you need some human interaction, but probably won't help.

The engineering for this is fascinating and I really love how vanity projects such as these are pushing the boundaries for engineering. However, the need for every project to proclaim itself as sustainable and renewable and other bollocks has become ridiculous. Nothing in that desert short of a camelhide tent shelter will be sustainable. Modern architecture and building methods are a disaster for the environment if we look at lifetime environmental footprint rather than cherry picking some period in its operational life. Building with concrete and in the desert, where all of the food and materials have to come from thousands of miles away, not to mention the energy footprint of the entire manufacturing and building process, not just that of operation is the opposite of sustainability. And I am not too sure that the reefs are going to come out of this alright. Sustainability is the hypocritical piousness of the age.

In all honesty this project is the least essential of all kinds of projects. No one except for investors is asking for resorts to be built in the red sea. It's too hot, It's too isolated, It will probably be too expensive to visit and because it exists in a land of sharia law it also lacks several freedoms that people can enjoy in other areas. The world doesn't need more luxury, all inclusive resorts right now. We need projects that actually accomplish things that advance our future instead of lame ass vacation "hot spots" that will probably be built by slave labor.

I love this channel! Id love to see a update video on this unique construction project in 5 years! And id like to see if they are following everything in their vision, minimized carbon footprint and sustainability plan! Looks amazing and im excited to see more videos by the definitive channel for construction B1M! :)

@@user-yj4qz5lo6k someone mentioned it in a comment, and I hadn’t thought of it the way they did but to paraphrase they never thought a bought the impacts from the tourist itself, such as sunscreen. There’s a lots of chemicals in sunscreen that promote coral bleaching, and with thousands putting on sunscreen everyday, assuming it’s not reed safe majority of the time, that is definitely going to have a huge environmental impacts. Adding onto my own assumptions, I don’t know too much about this project besides the baselines established in this video so please do correct me if I’m wrong. Solar energy is amazing and it’s a really valuable resource but there are very harmful impacts of broken or unused solar panels after 20 so years. There’s going to be a mass of solar panels thats definitely going to have a negative impact after it degrades. Another thing is the water desalination, depending on the process is used, usually there is a large amount of concentrated salt water that is pumped back into the ocean after extraction, that can also pose an issue for sea-life.

Just wish that these kind of ideas can happen for regular people around the world. It will be beautiful, but only for a few very wealthy people. Also... the odds that this doesn't kill some of the endangered species is pretty low..... too much of a focus on optics than substance with these types of projects.

One thing I believe I heard was the elimination of single use food items. Banning plastic cups, utensils, bags, etc. goes a long way in minimizing waste and the garbage you see floating in the water. Since it will be built regardless of what non Saudis thinks I hope their sustainability dreams come true.

Our ancestors in the past lived a “sustainable lifestyle”, we now have the technology to do that while maintaining modernization. This project will set an example to encourage more tourist hubs to do this. And what helps it is that it has an open checkbook, so it’s really not about the revenue, but about making history… we’ll witness history after this project is done. It’ll be the pillar that pushes other projects around the world to follow to suit.
