@@TheRightONe-et3ghdo you really believe that? Why would all the NATO nations be worried about Libya entering the 20th century? I don't think you've given this much thought beyond blaming all issues in unstable countries on them. Granted, there is likely a percentage of truth to it but when only repeating the 10% and ignoring the any portion of the 90%, you've so distorted the factors that it's closer to just call it a lie.
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.
@@Spooferish That's really cool. I'm not criticizing Pakistan, I'm criticizing the video for not covering what you just said. I'd really like to see a video on how Pakistan is planning it's water management long-term, and how it plans to store it's irregular flood waters.

The best project was done by Libya, but as usual, the West did not like it and they destroyed the most expensive part of the project, which is just a fresh water deposit?!? 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?!?! Of course, I'm talking about the U.S. and the West, With the help of NATO, it dictates the conditions of life of the whole world. On the other hand, Russia has enough water to Azi

@jonnyrobcr Do you know what I'm talking about? What kind of villages? Do you know how big Libya is, go to Google Maps and see what area it is, and there are still a huge number of cities in that area that are very good citizens, and water has been brought to 77% of the entire territory, which means that by putting the water supply system into operation, every apartment would have water, and we are talking about the area of the whole of Europe, more or less, and of course people would return there and that should be a country that It has been able to cover the entire Middle East and much of Africa.
Great project. China has established three channels to send water from south to north. So it is reasonable to build similar water pipes through Pakistan
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. To transform the regions into viable areas with sea ports to revive the desert in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa
Man is incredible in what it can achieve. That said, everything has consequences. I think the consequences in the future will be severe. The earth’s ecosystem is a delicate balance.
Personally, I prefer DESALINATION SEA WATER instead of tapping underground water and ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATOR system for these DESERT COUNTRIES. ALSO, CHANNELING sea water go deep inland desert to COOL DOWN high desert temperature like what EGYPT is doing with it's depression land.
For this to be realized, another source of energy will be required, say, nuclear otherwise just burning gas or fossil oil will exhaust its usage soon enough!
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😅 Nuclear 💪💪

Why keep calling them artificial rivers when there is a perfectly suitable shorter word- canals? And this does not address issues in respect of gradient (and hence flow) and changes in level - which is why you have to have locks and in some cases, aqueducts and boat lifts ( elevator).
Because canals were built many centuries ago. Built without "engineers", without technology in sight, without the industrial revolution, without the eye in the sky, without logistics or much access to prior knowledge, but with the participation of many people. There are many people today. There is much need of this many people, served/fulfilled by ordinary people and ambitious people.

Historical warning; The dead sea was killed when the USSR attempted to transfer water to its farming districts (nation states.) My understanding is a lot of it leaked from poorly sealed construction, so much so most soaked in the ground. Even after sealing the project it has yet to recover. Also, Californias north to south water transfer was highly successful as is diverting part of the Mississippi's (technically its a tributary) water (in Colorado) towards the west coast instead of the east as it naturally flows.
Those are all great ideas and some are actually being used Now a pipeline from Alaska to California would be a great idea to have America say see what we can do
The uploader doesn't know the difference between the New Valley (New Nile) project and the New Delta project. The first one is the project of diverting water from Lake Nasser north west into the Western dessert, in order to start the irrigation, and the New Delta is about expanding the delta area with the water that's is mostly being unused and flowing into the Mediterranean.
reducing dessert areas decreases the Earth's albedo, locking in more energy at the Earth's surface, and increasing surface temperatures. But, more green replacing dessert will mean more CO2 converted to oxygen, reducing a major greenhouse gas. Not sure what the overall result will be!
It is much less difficult to build/construct on desert or arid lands. Ancient civilizations that were recorded or excavated began in this type of terrain. The gentle Nile river runs through a large desertous geography, and housed one of the great ancient civilizations. The Mayans, Aztecs, etc of South America also rise to power in more arid or desertous landscapes. China ancient kingdoms also chose to locate itself in the less fertile northern plains of Xian. Forested areas, or the geographies that include natural obstacles such as great mountains, valleys, rushing rivers, lush greenery due to preferred climates and fertile soil were ignored due to the difficulties of challenging landscapes. The Middle East was also a cradle of early civilizations due to user friendly terrain. The population of some Middle East countries remain quite much lesser, or less dense, than the other early civilizations that is now China which had expansion capabilities westward and southward and that is India which has very friendly agricultural landscapes/climates and blessed with a vast coastline as well.

16:36, if this project began in 2022, where did the Gov't. (which wasn't truly established) after the American withdrawal in April 2022 with their accounts frozen, mass starvation & upheaval from a Taliban take over. Where on earth did they acquire such massive funding when their people were starving & leading a mass exodus out of the country? In addition to all the massive fraud & corruption of the leaders (Karzai, etc.) who stole all the capital money. If anything this financial achievement is very confusing given all these factors?
After the completion of Qoshtapa Kanal Afghanistan will be using 14% of the Ammo river’s water. While Afghanistan suppose to use 30% of the water, therefore after the completion of Qashtapa Kannal Afghanistan should start an other Kannal from Ammo river.
When the water is taken from underground in libia won't the ground cave in like massive sink holes and land slides earth quakes, ect? Btw pipelines are much much more efficient than artificial rivers as there is no leakage or evaporation. Gravity can carry the water over whole mountain ranges and the water can move hundreds of times the speed. We need to do this in the American southwest, from the Columbia or Mississippi.

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.

These schemes look like the opposite of sustainable. Bet people downstream on the Indus are really happy. Does the Indus rise in the Himalayas? What happens as glaciers gradually disappear and fail to feed the river at the needed rate. Looks extremely expensive presumably tying Pakistan into a huge debt. Good to use the fossil water in Libya but once it’s gone it’s gone so better have some strategy in place for then.
oh, it was that same inhuman Gaddafi regime that built a giant water supply for the citizens. It was not for nothing that he was killed and everything was bombed, now at least there is a blooming garden there... Or not?
For someone trying to save water they waste a lot on this. Like open top and concrete with no trees on the sides or solar over the top 😂 talk about evaporation loss. On top of that there concerned about it absorbing into the soil you know the thing that’s also connected to the underground aquifer 😂. Then on top of that it’s for farms none of which grow native stuff so you can only imagine the amount of water needed for them. And then you got all these pumps pipes and other things including the concrete river yes at this point it’s a man made river but they all need maintenance and the pumps require ridiculous amounts of power is that green to probably not.

No prizes, all desalination plants should be powered by PV panels.
Do you know how many panels would be needed just to supply the energy. It takes almost 95% of a roof just to power a house. Solar doesn't bring in the power you think. I have 50 panels now and barley powers my house in the summer. We are putting another 10 panels in 2025
@@RHEC1776 Solar panels for these desalination plants won't be installed on someone's roof but in the desert and Saudi Arabia and Egypt have plenty of desert areas to install large no. of solar panels. And plenty of sunshine too throughout the year.
All countries need to make man made rivers. Egyptians were smart.
Boooo 👎. Extreme statement
Yes it looks interesting. Which country Sir.
Pakistan. Clearly marked on a map in the video.
Allhamdullilah For kacchi Canal project
🇵🇰❤️💪
Good but still small

After that phase I completion
Phase 2 is 70 percent completed as well ✌️🇵🇰❤️🔥
@@Raju79-n1x I know
But its too small compared to those of China and India
China has North South River inter linking project and India has world's largest River Inter linking project
so where is all the salt going (saudi arabia) because the Red Sea isn't all that wide. Wouldn't it be better to pull the water from the Indian Ocean and having shafts that go far into the ocean to be released so it can be absorbed back into the ocean!!!
Regarding the Libyan aquifer, what happens when it's completely drained?
Historical warning; The dead sea was killed when the USSR attempted to transfer water to its farming districts (nation states.) My understanding is a lot of it leaked from poorly sealed construction, so much so most soaked in the ground. Even after sealing the project it has yet to recover. Also, Californias north to south water transfer was highly successful as is diverting part of the Mississippi's (technically its a tributary) water (in Colorado) towards the west coast instead of the east as it naturally flows.
Those are all great ideas and some are actually being used Now a pipeline from Alaska to California would be a great idea to have America say see what we can do
The uploader doesn't know the difference between the New Valley (New Nile) project and the New Delta project. The first one is the project of diverting water from Lake Nasser north west into the Western dessert, in order to start the irrigation, and the New Delta is about expanding the delta area with the water that's is mostly being unused and flowing into the Mediterranean.
The Qosh Teppa ph 1 had been finished some months ago. Now, people already start harvesting the crops.
All of them Artificial river will be heaven of sweet waters fish!!!
Amazing engineering, especially China
reducing dessert areas decreases the Earth's albedo, locking in more energy at the Earth's surface, and increasing surface temperatures. But, more green replacing dessert will mean more CO2 converted to oxygen, reducing a major greenhouse gas. Not sure what the overall result will be!
It is much less difficult to build/construct on desert or arid lands.
Ancient civilizations that were recorded or excavated began in this type of terrain. The gentle Nile river runs through a large desertous geography, and housed one of the great ancient civilizations. The Mayans, Aztecs, etc of South America also rise to power in more arid or desertous landscapes. China ancient kingdoms also chose to locate itself in the less fertile northern plains of Xian. Forested areas, or the geographies that include natural obstacles such as great mountains, valleys, rushing rivers, lush greenery due to preferred climates and fertile soil were ignored due to the difficulties of challenging landscapes.
The Middle East was also a cradle of early civilizations due to user friendly terrain. The population of some Middle East countries remain quite much lesser, or less dense, than the other early civilizations that is now China which had expansion capabilities westward and southward and that is India which has very friendly agricultural landscapes/climates and blessed with a vast coastline as well.
Incredible
I already watched this previous video, and our country can't follow how we can develop artificial rivers spreading across provinces in the Philippines, where I'm coming from, including Metro Manila.
great video but try to include the Metric system more often throughout the video
The video has used the metric measurements all throughout the video. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@thecomment9489 no not at the beginning of it …
at 9:15 about the GMMR, you should have mentioned that it was damaged by coalition forces (US, France, UK, Italy). A civilian infrastructure was bombed and damaged. What a disgrace.
Desalination using oil to grow "sustainable crops"? At least 1 project uses waste water 😮

Wide, unshaded & cement-lined waterways sent thru miles & miles of arid, sunbaked landscape -- yeah, all that loss due to evaporation is great water management, Pakistan.
Im always thinking.todays disapearimg rivers amd later reappear is maybe done by human ancessers maybe many thousands years ago and we just dont know about it?just thinking.are we have a system in our world what we dont know about anithying?
16:36, if this project began in 2022, where did the Gov't. (which wasn't truly established) after the American withdrawal in April 2022 with their accounts frozen, mass starvation & upheaval from a Taliban take over. Where on earth did they acquire such massive funding when their people were starving & leading a mass exodus out of the country? In addition to all the massive fraud & corruption of the leaders (Karzai, etc.) who stole all the capital money. If anything this financial achievement is very confusing given all these factors?
After the completion of Qoshtapa Kanal Afghanistan will be using 14% of the Ammo river’s water. While Afghanistan suppose to use 30% of the water, therefore after the completion of Qashtapa Kannal Afghanistan should start an other Kannal from Ammo river.
Fascinating project, but what are the long-term environmental implications of such large-scale water diversion? Sustainability is key here.
Water is !
When the water is taken from underground in libia won't the ground cave in like massive sink holes and land slides earth quakes, ect? Btw pipelines are much much more efficient than artificial rivers as there is no leakage or evaporation. Gravity can carry the water over whole mountain ranges and the water can move hundreds of times the speed. We need to do this in the American southwest, from the Columbia or Mississippi.
Wish all the best for chinese canal, and snearly success
When we read Afghanistan we expect to read a bad story. This seem to be a good one.
This does not get much meaning to people not knowing distance in km and just how many US dollars makes ruples. You know we are too lazy to look it up.
He is addressing the 99% of countries (all but 2 of the about 200 countries in the world) which are familiar with the ISO system.
If you are the odd one out, then that's fine. If your national pride depends on it then you are welcome to be special.
But why should anyone else care about your whims and cater to your peculiarities?
There's no enough people living in the desert there to piss in the canal to bring the water levels up to counter reaction to rapis evaporation
I have thoughts- in irrigating the world deserts,in line with Kolound's thought.And thus the saharas could be green,&Heavens fr golbal community.
Were those bridges built by china
WTH is an "aquafire"??? 😂
3w:24, Pakistan, I thought this country was broke, where will they get this money from & how will it improve their economy & job market?
Those countries are developing improving.i just love it.afganistan expetially.in cercamstances they do the impossible.but why they remove ghadafi in lybia.he transform entire country??? Punjab region needs help and its amazimg that they are doing it.china is today leader in ewrithing..amazing country.i just miss rest of the african countries in this kind of development.
Your pronunciation of “aquifer” hurts my brain…
Why not ddrain flood water from India and Pakistan into afghanistan and iran?
Is this documentary accurate? Libya and Afghanistan are currently suffering up evil political turmoil.
Longwinded waffle waffle 🤦 Pity. Interesting topic and projects.
Humans vanity quests. The Ajuran Kingdom created them but are among the poorest community on earth today. The social costs of such expeditions are too high due to our current social design.
👍👍
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.
BIG PROJECT
i love how the narrator is mispronouncing the word "aquifer" and saying it as "aquifire"
It's unfortunate that the important word AQUIFER is pronounced "aquifire" throughout this video.
Without questioning the wisdom of the planners, often times; such colossal water need arises out of monocultures that in itself is a curse 🤬. Please 🙏 do read books 📚 by Vandana Shiva to have a better understanding.
These schemes look like the opposite of sustainable. Bet people downstream on the Indus are really happy. Does the Indus rise in the Himalayas? What happens as glaciers gradually disappear and fail to feed the river at the needed rate. Looks extremely expensive presumably tying Pakistan into a huge debt. Good to use the fossil water in Libya but once it’s gone it’s gone so better have some strategy in place for then.
Great project - instead of wasting funds for BRI and Dubai.
wrong information
in India 🇮🇳we have Indira gandhi canal(Rajasthan Canal)length 649KM (400 miles)
Construction began 1958
Date of first use 2005
First🎉😂
It’s aquifer, not aquifire. Correctly pronounced like a fir tree.
Damn 6th grade talk, its not a river. It's a canal
I wouldn’t count on the Afghanistan effort.
Is this Jesse Watters?
That would make the us very angry!
I don't think it's going to work out the way they think
Its Afghanistan
Qosh tapa artificial river
Is anyone else triggered by the mispronunciation of “aquifer”?
oh, it was that same inhuman Gaddafi regime that built a giant water supply for the citizens.
It was not for nothing that he was killed and everything was bombed, now at least there is a blooming garden there... Or not?
These dont momic nature at all. Perdect straight lines consisten elevations on the shoreleine. There is nothing mimicking nature at all
The GMMcannel wil not been finished because of the insecure situation.
For someone trying to save water they waste a lot on this.
Like open top and concrete with no trees on the sides or solar over the top 😂 talk about evaporation loss.
On top of that there concerned about it absorbing into the soil you know the thing that’s also connected to the underground aquifer 😂.
Then on top of that it’s for farms none of which grow native stuff so you can only imagine the amount of water needed for them.
And then you got all these pumps pipes and other things including the concrete river yes at this point it’s a man made river but they all need maintenance and the pumps require ridiculous amounts of power is that green to probably not.
How to get green power or pink yes pink power is a thing you can use geothermal or tide power small water batteries if you know them fantastic if not it will take to long to explain soo look em up then there nuclear power.
Not enough research
aquifer not aquifier
5:09 this "water" are dead. useless
