I spent the whole video wondering where they got this water to grow crops from, and it just turns out "oh we took it from an aquifer that will never replenish itself because its a desert where it doesn't rain". Yes that is really sustainable.
-
I'm not a geologist, but don't aquifers eventually dry up if keep pumping out the water. My understanding is that they get replenished with water from above, usually rain, a lot of it.
-
The aquifers are drying up. The video omits that part and many of those farms have closed down. Also desalination is not energy efficient, even for an oil rich country. There just isn't enough water for all this agriculture. That is why Saudi Arabia is buying arable land in other countries to support farming and maintain its food security.
-
What this documentary fails to mention is that the aquifers are emptying out at an astonishing rate, so much so that the agriculture is being reversed. As for the desalination of water, this is an environmental nightmare and the brine (the super salty runoff) is pumped back into the ocean - removing something else used for food - fish.
-
Mean time in us farmers are being forced to give up their farm or being bought out by tech giant bg, and most of the industry and resources that would make us a self sufficient is being run out.
-
The plants themselves attract water out of the air by cooling the air and acting as a moisture net. If this continues the river will once again flow in Saudi Arabia.
-
To give you some perspective of how dry Saudi Arabia is; I lived there for 4 years in Jeddah... I was there when it rained for the first time in 15 years... It rained for an hour or so... Everything turned into rivers... the streets flooded and everything shut down! There is no irrigation in Saudi Arabia usually

Hadith Prophet Muhammad said: 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.
-
As the great prophecy stands truer than ever: “The barren deserts of Arabia will revert to lush, greenlands again” Alhamdulilah! 👍🏻
-
The problem with aquifers is that it isn't limitless, and they take a very long time to refill, so basically when they drain them, its gone, and it basically saps many springs as well, and it causes earthquakes when done a massive scale.
-
That's great we can learn from failure of oil & wealth & to invest in the proper investments like nature survival food, un like Mexico Venezuela, Cuba Soviet union & many more, wise decision a very great one
-
It always amazes me that extracting water from aquifers in areas with little or no rain is thought to be remotely sustainable long term.
-
Prophet Mohammed ( peace be upon him ) over 1400 years ago said this will happen in Saudi Arabia.
-
It's so good to hear about some leaders who actually care enough to help themselves and the people living in the country. Blessings to all.
-
Fascinating video mate, looking forward to more content from you.
-
When I'm was in Saudi Arabia in 1981 it was totally a desert and now times change and it became a greeny land, Saudi Arabia is blessed and hope that too many Pilipino will be hire especially in agriculture job.

I'm new to stock market /Crypto and would like to invest but I've go no idea on how to make good profits. Pls what's the best approach you'd recommend?
-
The water for crops comes from aquifers, a finite resource.
-
Awesome video, I learned a lot.
-
Thank you so much for that video . It is heartwarming to see that the house of Saud are investing in their own people
