Saudi Arabia's Water Problem
video description
Well, it-s a long story. But in short, when Sun is either hoter or closer to Earth or both (according to Milancovitch cycles, Ice Age comes. Unexpectable, huh? Actually, Sun heats ocean, ocean evaporates and makes mass of steam (amount of evaporations straight correlates with sun activity) which goes high, to cold layers of atmosphere where steam gets cold and turn down to ice. When that ice gets the earth surface it freezes the ground and makes air cooler. Ice melting and landwater evaporing take energy too and help to cool down climate. -
On the other hand farer or darker (or both) Sun means lesser steam, lesser ice, lesser freezing and lesser cool air, warmer atmoshpere. It also means higher level carbon dioxide concetration, cuz photosynthesis needs sunlight too. -
People think that Sun heats Earth, meanwhile it is opposite. This little mistake, misunderstood, wrong interpreted observation made such a mess, people try war against climate. Isn-t it silly?

Water shortage in saudi arabia is real, they have emptied their groundwater, now they take from the sea
Saudi Arabia leads the globe in the production of desalinated water with a daily production capacity of 117 million cubic feet. The country has 27 desalination plants spread along the country-s coastline with 21 located along the Red Sea and six located on the East Coast. The desalination facilities employ two different desalination processes with seven plants using the multi-effect distillation process, eight plants using the reverse osmosis technology and 12 using the multi-stage distillation process. The country has the largest floating desalination plant in the world with a capacity of producing up to 882, 867 cubic feet.

Dari ujung selat ke ujung selat dibuat kanal air laut mengalir ditepi ujung selat seratus meter bikin saringan bata merah di bubukan tambah kapur sirih tambah batu arang dan sabut ijuk lalu pasir batu dan pasir pantai itu akan mendapat air tawar pinggiran kanal tanami pohon mangrove untuk menghalau badai pasir dan pohon kelapa serta kurma dan pohon tin serta Jaitun dan pohon delima pisang lalu anggur dan pohon bidara setelah air itu mengalir bikin akar sungai dan dom- dom air sambung menyambung menarik kemungkinan dari tengah jalur kanal diatas. Ditarik sampai ujung laut. Kerja sama seluruh kerajaan dan republik Arab. Ide gila ini memandang alat beratnya sudah diciptakan yakin deh Padang pasir itu menjadi hijau. Syukran.

Saudi Arabia doesn't have a water problem. It has a people problem. You put people in a desert, what do you expect? You put 8 billion on the Earth and then claim we have water problems, and waste problems, and pollution problems, and global warming, and dwindling resources, and species going extinct, and war, and disease, and famine, and? Crazy. Homo sapiens is a failed species. Time to check out dear humans; the planet has had enough of your foolishness.

Is it possible to transport frozen Glacier Ice in the colder climates that have enough hydration to regenerate top layers of Ice that are not effected by Salt water integration. Drinking Saltwater is very unhealthy. Various areas to consider geographically. Just an idea. Research grants may be a way to further your education as I know from experience the Pell Grant will only cover so much of a school expense.

I heard that in the 70s the Saudis were seriously considering bringing ice from Antartica. As in have ships drag huge icebergs to the desert. Obviously they scrapped the idea but what if they were able to do it? Instead of letting Ice melt into the sea and raising sea levels around the world, transport it to the desert and for lakes out of it

Suggestion: use a spent / de-commissioned container ship ( large ) and fill it with clean, usable water. Saudi uses 1. 4 B-liters / year. 14 Billion liters will re-charge 10-years worth of water. Use a ship filter membrane (reverse osmosis, and a pump. Discharge brine into a dis-charge lake, and use the sun to dry it into salt.

Hmmm. Don't they have a miraculous well in Mecca called the Zam Zam well? And since Mecca is supposedly the center of the universe I would assume that there should be adequate resources available. They 'solved' the problem of raw sewage pouring into the Kaaba so they should be able to clear up the pesky issue of no water.

In 1967, I was a teacher of English to Saudi Airforce personnel at Dhahran. We used to take trips to Jubail a little fishing village up the coast. Some went for the swimming, others, the fishing. It was a beautiful spot for both. Now it has the largest desalination plant in the world, and a huge industrial complex. Happy Days.

Atmosphere water generators which are just dehumidifier with filters. Can run on solar reproducing hundreds to thousands of gallons of fresh water. build a few n your water is solved. Water is the biggest scam out there. Were in 2023 n we still cant or should say the greedy people refuse to build them

Nothing about -Saudi- Arabia is sustainable. When their oil declines they may have trouble exporting it to trade for food imports. A saying supposedly from there: My father rode a camel. I drive a car. My son flies a plane. His son will ride a camel.

I was told, when I was there in 1977, that the Saudis had only recently ceased reinjecting sweet water from their aquifers to boost production of their oil wells. Not exactly great economics, as at that time potable water cost more than petrol

Any place trying to grow food with small amounts of water should use greenhouses to capture evaporated water from the plants. In areas that are very hot, the glass should be tinted to cut the amount of light getting through.

You are a bit wrong about brine. You could just send it to salt ponds and produce salt 3 times faster than traditional salt pond. If they wish to, Saudi can become the largest salt producer of the world.

So they come to Arizona to pay off corrupt government officials (probably Nazi Republicans) and use Arizona's water. Like Arizona really has any water to spare but money rules.
