  • Today we explore the largest artificial rivers in the world, under construction in deserts, cities and across countries. We explore a number of these mega projects such as - The Kachi Canal project Pakistan, Great Man-Made River of Libya, Afghanistan's Kosh Tepa Canal, China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project, The artificial river of Saudia Arabia, New Delta Project OF EGYPT

    The video needs to address two things better:
    -Politics. For example, NATO bombed the Libyan water network, and Balochistan has an ongoing insurgency. How those connect to water issues isn't explained.
    -Water supply: Does Pakistan/Afghanistan actually have enough water for its plan? What's its strategy to maintain adequate supply?

      Scientists are talking about this for sometimes but they never said there will be no water what they says it will be with cycles like low rains for 3-4 years than record rain for the 5 year. You like it or not, but Pakistan is addressing this issue very intelligently even with less resources. For example 2010 flood Pakistan diverted to the deserts. Even though there was disaster at that time but today Pakistan's desert are getting vanished.. even the kach canal project is made on that groundnonly. same time Pakistan diverted the whole river to fall into the river Jhelum which is already having too much water to different place through the underground tunnels. Then Pakistan has developed more than 700 small dams (450 of them in Punjab alone) to store the water, if sindh and KPK also follow then it will be huge relief for Pakistan to protect water, and make it available whenever needed.
      Pakistan also have build lots of canals recently which improved accessibility of water.

    Plants and trees must be found that can withstand the salinity of sea water so that desert countries overlooking salty seas can benefit. By planting these plants and trees as wood, oils, or fish farms with plant feed on salty water, a solution must be found to plant the desert with salty water.

      Desalination is an energy intensive process. But I guess solar panels could be used in desert areas if one can overcome the issue of sand dust reducing the panels efficiency. (Accepting that solar panels are not actually so green when one takes account of the mining of key elements used in their fabrication and the fact their lifespan is only about 20 years and they are not currently recyclable. Ditto for wind turbines!). Nothing is as it seems😅

In fact, all these projects are very simple, Europe has the Danube that flows through most of Europe and goes into the sea, it could very easily be carried through a single pipe to the Sahara, which should be enough for agriculture, and in return, the Sahara countries could implement a 10% smaller pipe through which the oil would go in the same way. And in this way, it would be very easy to solve the problems of water and oil for Europe and the countries of North Africa, as well as in many other places. In fact, there is enough water and oil for everyone, at least for 20 billion people, but because of the greed of those who manage the sale of oil, we have wars instead of a good life?!?!

    Short-term solutions (opening canals and creating rivers) in the long term can often result in environmental disaster. The Soviets had the ingenious idea of ​​diverting the fresh water that supplied the Aral Sea to irrigate arid regions. For a few decades, irrigated agricultural production exploded, but then it declined because the Aral Sea dried up (this reduced the humidity of the entire region, altering the rainfall regime that supplied the rivers). And yes, the Murican who narrates the video is very annoying and talks too much without addressing relevant political issues.
