I'm always very proud of Crash Course for approaching difficult subjects with nuance and kindness. It's difficult to talk about issues that are contentious politically and it is impossible to be without bias, but I think that it -is- possible to talk about such things with kindness and consideration. While it is a tall order, I would encourage commenters to remember DFTBA.

I'm a bit disappointed that the technologies of desalination were not mentioned, and how much the countries of the Middle East are turning to desalinating water from their seas and more water-saving technologies and practices than relying on the hydrologic cycle (rainwater, snowmelt, and groundwater) for human consumption.

No one over here is focusing on water in politics, and we don-t hear about this from the other side. How each side actually uses and conserves water (or doesn-t) is totally ignored. There is a more than a little reading into this conflict issues which are very much not what anyone on the ground is talking about.

Here I was concerned this series would be finished soon. Imagine my pleasant surprise when 10: 02 -. which we'll discuss in the second half of this series-. Excellent video again, as always. Every week I keep being surprised at just how incredibly broad a topic Geography really is. Marvelous!

It's not very inaccurate.
Israel gets most of its water from filtration of the sea water.
Those aupaifers are very hard to extract water from.
And the water is pretty expensive to because of it.

instead of calculating average water consumption, mean water consumption should instead be used.
Though I'm unsure if the data of mean water consumption exists or is readily available for the topic.

6: 09 - I know this is a heavy topic but I found the mention of snow kinda funny - this area gets an average of about 1 snow day a year, and even that only happens in the most mountainous parts.

Ironically Israel's other water-related politics is surprisingly stable. I've read that there has not yet been a war fought over water rights, though this may change in the near future.

Clearly some slanted opinions on -occupation-, as we normally call those lands as Israel. I guess I am living in Occupied Hawaii, come to think of it?
