As a Saudi citizen who lives in a small town i must say i have never ever had a water problem ever. I live my life just how you guys live the difference is that it's 20 times hotter here! so of course we will consume more water than you do.
As a guy who lives and work in Paris as a waiter, I've seen how it's done in Saudi lol, every single one had a battlecruiser 300 k€ to drive in Paris, I don't think a guy who does that takes care of the water he uses for his shower. I'm not saying everyone is like this but look at the numbers
@@ronmumford5806 Zamzam's water is renewable water. The source of water comes from the rain in Mecca. Mecca is a mountainous area and so one of the valleys contains the valley of Ibrahim that holds Zamzam’s well in a low-land area…. So if rain stopped zam zam can get depleted
I'm from Jordan, next door to Saudi Arabia. Back in the 1980's and before, I remember vividly we lapped up what we thought were endless supplies of household water. Little did we think of water as a precious commodity. But now we have been grappling with an inexorable water shortage prob for a couple decades, and the situation is only getting worse. Our gov hasn't lifted a finger to address the prob, apart from pumping less and less water to households, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves. Drought, God forbid, may soon be staring us right in the face. At least in SA they seem to care, and they do go all out to eke out solutions and alternatives.
with the new technologies that we have been discovering and using I don’t think we have a problem with salt water anymore, because we have these water disillation plant and we have discovered a new types of plants that can be watered with two times saltier water than Desalination water waste. Not to mention That 70% of water in the gulf region goes to traditional farming, but that could end with vertical farming which is gonna reduce 90% of the water that is wasted on traditional farming. Also there is an attempt to use treated waste water to irrigate plants around Saudi Arabia. The goal is initially to plant 20 billion trees under the Saudi green initiatives which would hopefully change the climate and help to increase rain in the region.
7:57 that’s completely nonsense. We never had water shortage here in Riyadh. I don’t think I ever heard there’s a water shortage anywhere in Saudi Arabia. Even our tribe village that we visit every summer never had shortage, it’s actually quite the opposite.

Somewhat interesting. However, no discussion about the use of large amounts of energy required for standard desalinization plants, nor the damage done by the brine waste product.
I sometimes wonder why they don't use solar pv for the energy. I mean the location is about as ideal as it gets for solar. As for things like nighttime, couldn't they just suspend operations until the sun comes out again? A bit of capital asset waste for when the plants aren't in use, but compared to free fuel it might be worth it. Someone should to an analysis on it.
They did recently start 4 nuclear reactors, and 4 more are on the way. Of cause, they probobly need 20 or 30.. i guess 4 is a good start. Its possible to use waste heat from nuclear power to desalinate water, using way less energy than reverse osmosis. Evaporation desalination have gained lots of ground the last decades and starting to get really competitive.

scientists are learning now that some of that water deep underground actually does renew and is generated from within the earth and not just "fossil water". Sure some is old because it was generated long ago but more new water is being continuously generated also. They have made these discoveries regarding oil also and it is called the "abiotic" origin.

In russia the walipini below ground greenhouse allowed them to use ground temperature to moderate the extreme temperature. The same but in reverse could be done in Saudi Arabia with also including light reduction or infrared filtering. closed loop watering to eliminate evaporation.
70% of the world is covered with water and we have the same amount of water since God created the world. Water can’t be destroyed but recycled year after year. . Desalination is the way forward for the entire world. All blessings from Ireland

Obviously the Saudi government has to provide reliable food supplies to its people. The trouble with importation of food from such long distances means that the carbon footprint of it is vast, greatly advancing climate change &, for a desert nation, quite possibly hastening the end of Saudi Arabia as a habitable zone on the planet; i.e. it will become just too hot & dry to be bearable to live there causing the nation's people to become climate change refugees. Far more needs to be done on the desalination of seawater, collection & composting of food & human waste for the purposes of building soils & their moisture retention values. It also seems ridiculous to continue with the various forms of overhead irrigation which means much H2O is lost to evaporation before it even hits its target & more still is lost due to evaporation from crop leaves; irrigation should ALWAYS be done at soil level to target the roots only &, in a hot dry climate, only at night, not the middle of the day. The Al Baydha Project showed how a permaculture design approach would be a far more sustainable way of addressing food & H2O security if applied to the Kingdom's mountains & wadis, with the long term potential to have year round H2O in their rivers & streams in all but the driest of years. Currently, whenever they do get substantial rainfall in the mountains, it results in flash flooding, causes mass erosion & is mostly lost straight into the Gulf of Arabia; what a waste of fresh H2O, valuable sediment & nutrients. Additionally, any canal networks should most definitely NOT be left open to the sun, but enclosed instead to avoid evaporation.
Vast carbon footprint? Ships are really efficient. Food miles are meaningless. Growing the food and making fertiliser is more carbon-intensive. Transportation of food by trucks from sea ports to supermarkets is worse than taking it from sea port to sea port.
You are right about agriculture. I am a fan of Al Baydha project, and you agree that current forms of Saudi agriculture are ridiculous. Yes, the use of stormwater to make farms is lovely.
Doing conventional open farming in that climate is moronic, because most of the water will evaporates into air. They should instead use a more controlled method like vertical farming that are more water efficient.
The information about water availability (e,g in Riyadh once/2.5 days) is wrong. I lived there all my life and it’s available all the time. Also the info about the average water consumption per individual is wrong because it includes industrial consumption
Why not try to plant & grow tall spreading shadows various trees suitable for the climate soil of the regions using sea water 🌊. Such as coconut jackfruit saru banyan peeple pilkhan maulashri Indian coral tree ardu babool Rohida khejari etc..After green ing then come inside, repeat same efforts.Thus bring whole nation under lush green forest
Are there no methods to replenish the aquifers? Example: fog nets near the coast, or reforestation plans to create porous soil and avoid evaporation of the water. Also it is proven in "Ronny Meier et al, Empirical estimate of forestation-induced precipitation changes in Europe," that areas with trees encourage rainfall.
The tragic irony is that burning Saudi oil and gas, and gas (methane) leaks, are major contributors to atmospheric global warming, heatwaves, drought, and desertification. old geologist
No they need white people running Africa because the Africans coming from poor backgrounds become far to corrupt. And poverty has got nothing to do with the government it's got to do with the African who people keep rooting each other thinking 8 children is normal and then you expect the rest of the world to feed them.

In fact, they sell crude oil at a price that is considered low,, But it is petrochemical refiners that have quadrupled the price to 5 times to earn hysterical profits.

Why not just pump sea water into the desert and let the sand filter it to fill up the aquafers
In russia the walipini below ground greenhouse allowed them to use ground temperature to
moderate the extreme temperature. The same but in reverse could be done in Saudi Arabia
with also including light reduction or infrared filtering. closed loop watering to eliminate evaporation.
There is a group of people doing that with semi transparent solar panels
@@pupip55 Well done then, solar electric and reduced light to grow plants but moderate the heat.
@@duanenavarre7234 Basically yeah
The solution i see is growing vegetables with efficient roots that drink and hold water well in Arabian climates.
Reforestation and growing trees can solve problem to certain extent and bring rains.
No, it can't.
At least show some real footage of Saudi and Saudi officials 😂😂😂
Well u gonna see in upcoming years how all deserts in Saudi will turn to green land💚💚😍
جميع ؟ 😂
حاول تفكر مرتين
السعودية حجمها ضخم واغلبها صحراء
تحتاج اموال العالم لتزرعها

Dude, your thumbnail literally says THIRTS. Lets raise that bar a bit?

It used to be pure desert, they are blessed.
Bro I have lived in both Riyadh & Jeddah but never faced any kind of Water Problems where did you even get those Info????
True. I have been going in and off to Jeddah for oast 3 decades now but never had any water related issues . Infact tap water in Saudi is drinkable
In future people will fight for water not for oil

Same tired style.....same boring voice over.....same bunch of irrelevant images.
70% of the world is covered with water and we have the same amount of water since God created the world. Water can’t be destroyed but recycled year after year. . Desalination is the way forward for the entire world. All blessings from Ireland
Middle Eastern know nothing but majority of them believe in fairy tales.
Agree. But dry areas like saudi arabia need to preserve fossil water for future crisis.
@@M.sami12
Fossil water? What's that?
@@MrNote-lz7lh
Fossil water refers to water that's been underground for thousands of years or longer. Once used, it is gone forever.
Aquifer is rock layers. Desert is rock layers magnified. Sea water through magnified layers via huge oil pipes
Maybe they should cover those water canals with solar panels.
my suggestion would be since im not geologist or biologist but plant those tree that require less water and have a great span in live and also a tree that have a great soil firm which would make the water be stored in ground for longer time and tree can change the climate problem too
GCC using sea water after processing, they dont have issue like they said
Is nobody gonna ask what is a Great Thirts?
yeah! is that a typo or what. I have not watched the video and did not want to risk watching a long video and have no explanation of what a thirt is. it is too close to thirst for me not to think it is a typo.
Obviously the Saudi government has to provide reliable food supplies to its people.
The trouble with importation of food from such long distances means that the carbon footprint of it is vast, greatly advancing climate change &, for a desert nation, quite possibly hastening the end of Saudi Arabia as a habitable zone on the planet; i.e. it will become just too hot & dry to be bearable to live there causing the nation's people to become climate change refugees.
Far more needs to be done on the desalination of seawater, collection & composting of food & human waste for the purposes of building soils & their moisture retention values. It also seems ridiculous to continue with the various forms of overhead irrigation which means much H2O is lost to evaporation before it even hits its target & more still is lost due to evaporation from crop leaves; irrigation should ALWAYS be done at soil level to target the roots only &, in a hot dry climate, only at night, not the middle of the day.
The Al Baydha Project showed how a permaculture design approach would be a far more sustainable way of addressing food & H2O security if applied to the Kingdom's mountains & wadis, with the long term potential to have year round H2O in their rivers & streams in all but the driest of years. Currently, whenever they do get substantial rainfall in the mountains, it results in flash flooding, causes mass erosion & is mostly lost straight into the Gulf of Arabia; what a waste of fresh H2O, valuable sediment & nutrients.
Additionally, any canal networks should most definitely NOT be left open to the sun, but enclosed instead to avoid evaporation.
Vast carbon footprint?
Ships are really efficient. Food miles are meaningless. Growing the food and making fertiliser is more carbon-intensive.
Transportation of food by trucks from sea ports to supermarkets is worse than taking it from sea port to sea port.
You are right about agriculture.
I am a fan of Al Baydha project, and you agree that current forms of Saudi agriculture are ridiculous.
Yes, the use of stormwater to make farms is lovely.
Great video
they should import more British people then, we'll bring the weather with us.
And Aston Martins, pubs, house musics, fish and chips, god bless the queen.
Doing conventional open farming in that climate is moronic, because most of the water will evaporates into air.
They should instead use a more controlled method like vertical farming that are more water efficient.
It would have been ok 1000 years ago but now they've cut down all the trees , the ground is no longer any good
The information about water availability (e,g in Riyadh once/2.5 days) is wrong. I lived there all my life and it’s available all the time.
Also the info about the average water consumption per individual is wrong because it includes industrial consumption
I find it peculiar that a desert people can’t seem to administer their water resources responsibly…
Don't worry, I believe Allah will solve all problems in my fab country.
Just waiting for some time
There is no allah only One True God who replenishes by His Blessings the world
This vid is wrong in soo many ways lol , and the African clip’s background lol like what
Why not try to plant & grow tall spreading shadows various trees suitable for the climate soil of the regions using sea water 🌊. Such as coconut jackfruit saru banyan peeple pilkhan maulashri Indian coral tree ardu babool Rohida khejari etc..After green ing then come inside, repeat same efforts.Thus bring whole nation under lush green forest
Hmmm, what water problems? Gas used to be cheaper than water here. Now it’s water that is cheaper.
Nice video, but please consider citing your sources. Thank you
Are there no methods to replenish the aquifers? Example: fog nets near the coast, or reforestation plans to create porous soil and avoid evaporation of the water. Also it is proven in "Ronny Meier et al, Empirical estimate of forestation-induced precipitation changes in Europe," that areas with trees encourage rainfall.
Super rich and super thick!
And in the meantime our water is drying up too plus the fact the Saudi are giving the United States a discount on the oil we buy from them.
The tragic irony is that burning Saudi oil and gas, and gas (methane) leaks, are major contributors to atmospheric global warming, heatwaves, drought, and desertification. old geologist
Wrong information (Persian Gulf) its Arabian Gulf
If only African countries have visionary leaders like Saudi Arabia, poverty will be reduced to minimum level.
No they need white people running Africa because the Africans coming from poor backgrounds become far to corrupt. And poverty has got nothing to do with the government it's got to do with the African who people keep rooting each other thinking 8 children is normal and then you expect the rest of the world to feed them.
Most of the videos you show are not related to Saudi Arabia
What the hell is “thirts”? Why does the thumbnail make no sense?

The wealth of the dessert
As in Makkah there is a well blessed by God that will never run out so there is plenty of water in Saudi Arabia since I live in jeddah
وكأن بئر زمزم سوف يكفي لملايين البشر
if they had used that water in permaculture forest, the soil would have become fertile already and they would have had huge forests in desert. Monoculture is the villain for the environment.
They could build greenhouses. It saves more water. Sure, only if ventilation does not take it out
Its just a rich desert when oil will run out it will remain a desert nothing can change that.

Hydroponic crop production is more efficient than irrigation
The Arab Regions has anticipated numerous practices designed to prevent losses in GDP particularly food production/manufacturing. The water distribution system was designed to prevent drought and for the sources not to dry. It is in the manner that the waters are utilized accordingly as distribution-transport-and storage practices and designs. SMEs.../../../.../ thank you.
Yes super intéressant se genre de projets 🍅🥕🍊🍋😏
All their money they could have grown forests in the desert which would automatically increased rainfall. There are many prime examples of this happening in China and other countries with deserts and desertification. Arizona is another place just off the top of my head. Oh and Spain too.
tenes idea cuanto de agua consume un arbol ... en su vida y cuanto consumiria un bosque
para que el dia q dejes de regarlo se seque todo... es mas productivo alimentar mas en estos tiempo donde ay tantos parasitos viviendo del dinero de otro.
The deserts have some crucial importence in Global climate . turning deserts in to forest will effect the climate of other part of world may lead to desertification of other regions
China does cloud seeding
@@ninjafilmz7495 no... china is life threatening pinche trollz
Once the oil runs out so will the water. Nice living in England where it rains most days.
Real men only live in desert
We wont run out of oil
And we dont have a water problem either
And not forget, the Saudi landscape is part of the global ecosystem.
I hope they have to buy water at the same prices they sold oil.
In fact, they sell crude oil at a price that is considered low,,
But it is petrochemical refiners that have quadrupled the price to 5 times to earn hysterical profits.
I mean, if a barrel of oil becomes $100, refiners sell it to consumers for $500, that is, they earn twice as much as the source of crude oil.
why does the thumbnail say 'great thirts' lmao
They are receiving 1-2 ft of rain every year now in some area

They should try using desalination of ocean water
Its already using that, there is no problem in water
Desalination has 1 problem, the water near the coast becomes so salty , that aquatic animal starts dying
@@samratpatel8060
Sucks to be an aquatic animal there I guess. I don't see why that would stop humans though.
There should be no such thing as a water problem anywhere. We are surrounded by an ocean somewhere and have the intelligence and technology to have water anywhere if we wanted to. The only thing getting in the way is excuses.
Trade water for oil.
I can't believe this. You post a video... With a title in huge capitals. And then you have typo in that title.
Of course there’s no water, YOU LIVE IN A DESERT!
First, cover the canals. Second, stop growing in soil.
Inaccurate report , never ever had any water disruption in KSA either Jeddah or Riyadh or any other region. 1 st every 9 days??
'Enough to fill Lake Erie in the United States"
Could it also fill the half of Lake in Canada?
I like the way Americans just think that everybody around the world is going to know how big that amount of water is . It would be like me saying it is the same amount that flows down the Murray River in Australia, it's the third biggest in the world but no one actually has ever heard it
@@jamied8678 OMG - the Murray may be the 3rd largest in South Australia, but by no means is it the 3rd largest in the world. I have seen it many times - it is smaller than the Kaministiquia River in my home town, and that isn't even the largest river that flows into lake Superior.
@@bmunson4920 well that's what the bloody sign said lol now I just checked it's the longest in Australia and as far as I know we only have one river in South Australia . Still no one's ever heard of it because no one knows anything about Australia
@@jamied8678 'The longest river in the driest state in the driest continent"...That's the "tallest midget" award somewhere! I have seen the Murray at several places, and its what is called a backyard creek in Canada...No knock, Oz has plenty of things to recommend it - sunshine and great beaches, but creeks (there are no actual rivers in OZ! At least what much of the rest of the world would call a river) is not one of them...
@@bmunson4920
The River Murray is Australia’s longest river. It’s 2508 kilometres long, spanning New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Almost 2000 km is navigable, making it the third longest navigable river on the planet, with only the Amazon and Nile rivers ahead of it. ..... Again I'm big enough of a man to admit I got this wrong but it's obvious that your Rivers aren't as big an amazing if you can't sail down them .now I suggest you stop being so American in your approach and understand that you come from better people .
farm fields in saudi arabia is absolutely insane xD
Seriously- what do they do with all that brine?? Can’t throw it back in the ocean!
And some people say there is no God. If humans have full control, how come nobody can manufacture water?
Zam zam water is the holy shrine water in Makkah
You spelt thirst wrong in the thumbnail
And now Saudi Arabia is doing this in Arizona. Check it out.
oh boy, i miss playing SimCity
This sounds like it’s based on decades old intel. Replenishment of the reservoirs is not taken into account here.
(solar panels in deserts give shade and shelter to crop and animals )
When the video author can't even spell "thirst" in the header - then it's time to move on to another video without giving it a second chance...
Desalination is the answer and they are already doing it in large scale and energy resource is very cheap over there.
they really just stole the NEO video on Saudi Arabia's water scarcity
